Almost broke in the 13's------ Comparison at 7,6,5 PSI and stock
One pic is worth 1000 words. My best was 14.3 @ 6 PSI... I tried with 7 PSI AND GOT 14.0.
I have not tuned the car yet. Will be doing it this weekend. I got very consistent times.

Thats great that you almost broke 13s. I'm looking more at the fact that you knocked off 1.3 seconds, and trapped about 8mph faster. I'd like to see what that baby can do tuned, and at 8psi. Good job!

I'm a little confused...(maybe I missed something)
The stock 8 should be getting 14.5's in the 1/4 mile so what 1.3sec are we talking about here? So far the best Turbo times I've seen is 14 flat (which he matched with his G-Tech) so what 1.3sec are we talking about.
NOW...do you mean from his original times? So...he was running 15.8's in the 1/4 mile before?
Did I miss something?

He was running 15.3 STOCK, then 14.0 w/ Greddy @ 7 PSI.
Keep in mind he's in Calgary (higher elevation) so his times won't be as good as someone at sea level. There's other factors, too, like if he has **** in his trunk or a full gas tank, type of tires,...
So one could assume that if you could do 14.3 STOCK, then you might be able to do 13.0 w/ Greddy @ 7 PSI? I dunno...
PS. If you look at the charts he posted it'll make sense what he's talking about, rx8wannahave.

Can u see the consistency of the runs? You can barely see the difference, that is why i think gtech is running fine.

I took it to the dragstrip and did a 15.2 the same day. Very close.

Something to consider,
Just because Lschiavo got these kind of gains from the turbo, at this high elevetion, we shouldn't expect those same kind of gains at lower elevations. Turbos eliminate much of the power loss seen at higher elevations, just by their very nature.
I'm sure you've all considered this already, but I thought I'd put in a word or 2.
Nice gains all the same though. How's around town driveability?
