The F'in pulley belt was slipping like crazy, best run it got was a 14.2 lol We're gonna get his car straightened out and go for another run. I drove it once, I launched at 6k and the tires hooked hard, but I didn't slip the clutch enough and it bogged, not my car so learning to drive it, I was thinking I screwed the run completely then it hit 6k rpm and the rear end squatted hard and I was thinking ok this might be a decent run, shifted to second car fell on its face all the way to 9k, third same, 4th same, disappointing, but we'll get it fixed and get a real time. We raced on the highway going back home and my car with its mods beat him, he said the charger went to 7psi then fell to 3psi. Car ran like crap. New times to come. My car is probably good for a 13.9 at our track with its current mods. Shock

Don't track the car until you get the car running smoothly. Your ECU is clearly pulling timing. You can't force it to a faster time. Check the ESM connections, they're notorious for confusing the MAP sensor if not connected well.

^^ he just fixed a wire problem with that box. And I didn't know anything about the belt until I actually ran the car or I would have never even tried, I cant believe it actually runs worse than a stock car tho haha.

What do you guys think about MAP sensor upgrades? I am thinking about switching pulleys for higher boost. What does everyone else run?
