Unbelievable. The car just keeps getting faster and faster. I thought 11.49 may be possible, but I thought only with a 1.55 60'. I haven't gotten the 11.49 yet, but I'm only 2 hundredths away and with a 1.66 60'. A 1.55 would put me way over the top, but I just can't figure out how to get those types of 60's. Regardless, it's still beyond amazing to hit an 11.5 at this altitude on the stock turbo.
Sorry, Henry, I didn't plan on it, but when I was driving home from work (Golden), I just kept going South down I-25, haha. I had already checked the weather and knew it would be 90*+ and chances of t-storms, so I didn't plan to go, but I went anyway. I'm glad I did, because even though it was hot and humid (humid for CO anyway), there was almost no one there, and I was able to do runs whenever I wanted. I even had to make myself take breaks just to let the car cool down.
Naw man, that's 325whp showing how it's done! I probably have another 15-20whp from when I dyno'd, though, because we found lots of big boost leaks at Tobz' shop, and then I turned the boost up 4 clicks on the UNOS. In 4th, it peaks right at 29psi on the highway, and it rests at 1psi when it's off, so that's ~28psi gauge. With a Green at 30-32psi gauge, we could be talking some crazy times...
Out of all these runs, I haven't even looked yet. I expect it's down below 20psi, but I haven't bothered to look once. I am always looking at my tach, because I pretty much can guess my trap based off my rpms at the finish line.
On the dyno and on road pulls in 3rd, it drops below 20, so since I'm going to 7500 in 4th, it's probably right at or below 20. I will be sure to watch next time.

That would be great if you could. Last saturday I looked at my boost gauge on one run and it was around 15psi or so. Im just curious if that is too low or not. Im getting a jdm map sensor next week so I can log boost and do a little deeper analysis on it.
I've never seen my boost drop to 15psi in any gear at any time on any gauge. Back on the VIII turbo with alky, I was running 26psi, and it would drop to 16psi, but that's as low as I ever saw it go.
