that was my first run and i was boosting @ 7-8psi, i was expecting to race against TheFantasticG but ended up getting matched up with that infinity. Traction was the biggest issue of the night.....we got there kinda late and the track was already thrashed. second gear became my enemy....lol and third aswell. i was getting some good reaction times that night but it really didnt help much with all the tire spin......i would take off in first going really easy and slam into second id progressivly lay on the throttle, it didnt matter how easy i was on the throttle once i hit full boost it was nothing but a spin fest. we had fun anyways. im trying to get garret to post up the vids but he is being slow about it....lol
Hereis the video (be nice, my wife did was the camera operator and it was cold):

update........
1st. i found more evidence that the wastgate is sticking so my hesitation problem may not be boost controller.
2nd. i got tuned today by Mark @ SGP who was able to get me a pretty good tune considering the wastgate and lack of fuel pressure to really richen up higher boost levels. 297hp 301tq@11psi.
3rd. i ordered some drag radials that should come in Thursday and got a spare pair of rims to mount em on. i just dont want to run on these tires all the time even though they are street legal.
4th i got to deposit some green into my bank so i can order more crap.........lol

i have a flang on the way to be able to rotate my wastgate 90 degrees, doing that cause its just too hard to fully tighten down the wastgate. i took the wast gate off and disassembled it to see if the wastgate was the problem, everything looked pretty good except the wastgate valve had a slight bit of play to it. the underside of the diaphragm was blackened with carbon deposits but iv been reassured that its normal (thanks paul). so when i reassembled it and bolted it back up to my mani it was a tough gig so i said eff it and order this flange. i hope it works out and if it does ill be making myself a new dump tube. if any one wants my old dump tube ill sell it for a fair price but cannot say that it will fit very well without cutting and rewelding it. also found that my boost controller isnt the problem, im now 100% sure on that one. i completly removed it and still had issues, so far its been pretty solid for me anyways.
drag radials come in monday i was told by discount, so no track for me this weekend.
