If you could vary boost by gear...

If you're worrying about traction off the line under drag conditions, why not leave the boost levels and program a dual stage rev limiter? Your right leg can do the rest then

1st-8
2nd-12
3rd-20
4th-32
5th-32
6th-32

My EMS has a launch limiter; is that the same thing that you are talking about? This launch limiter only allows me to input one setting, and it is currently at 4500.

Just a question though, in your hypothetical boost level per gear setup, why do you drop the boost to 8 psi in 6th gear?

I just thought it strange that anyone would want to do that if they are going to go for straight line speed. In a short geared car like this, you'll be in 6th gear really quickly, and if then you're limited in power in the longest gear you have, you'll seriously be shooting yourself in the foot... Just recently with the inline 300zx diff conversion have we started to see better off the line times with the car, and if you don't have a good off the line time you'd want to make up for it with top end, and limiting that would seriously hinder any good times.
Thats the only reason I thought it strange.
