Transmission problems.. it won't engauge a gear when leaving the previous gear anywhere above 8500 rpm's. Not quite sure how to resolve this yet but i'm trying to research it. (this caused me horrible times coz i had to let it rev down a bit to grab the next gear, and when i did get the next gear, i had to build boost again coz it took to long & dropped)

Best trap of the day on the 11psi setting was 110mph, ET's were just ugly.

best 60ft was 1.9, looking for improvement now that i know how high i'm gonna have to launch it.

Also, i'm gonna get rid of these NA cams, & go to a stock GSR cam for now. I'm losing boost up top, and i believe it's due to the overlap.

Gonna try & have everything changed up in time for richmond & then i'll get a little more seat time to mess with the setup.

Also, my freshly rebuilt turbo is smoking & i've been told to change from 10-30synthetic to 5-50 by the turbo rebuilder. I might have to give it a shot, coz i really don't wanna have to drive 8hrs with a smoke cloud behind me.
