Nitrous is the best power increase.
All that other shit is way too expensive.
I may have to end up going that route ( I do have a kit, but not installed), but in the meantime I ppicked up a AEM FIC. My idea is that If I can crank the boost to umm I don't know 29ish and have a good tune, It might net me more.
ok got some improvement from last weeks time of 9.005. today i ran a 8.800. didn't change ne thing major this time and i was consistant in the 9.000 range. so i'm getting there now:-) nxt week in w the STS and we"ll c what happens.

STS is not going to make much if any difference. Plain and simple... you need slicks. Get your 60' down to 1.7xx - 1.8xx and you'll see a dramatic drop in your 1/8 mile ET. Really, Stage 3 helps much more at the back end of the track on a 1/4 mile until you get slicks and a good suspension, or at least drag radials and a good suspension.
Hey guys, can you give me some input regarding my AGP wastegate setup? Here's what is happening:
I have the wastegate hooked into the stock vacuum line. The WG is adjusted about as loose as it will go; just enough to keep the flapper on the maifold closed.
With this setup and DAB on #2, the boost holds steady at 24psi, and drops to 23ish just before redline. Here is my concern: things look good through most of the powerband, but at redline the air/fuel ratio gets up into the 12's, and EGT gets near 1700*.
Seems less than ideal in terms of safety. Is a fuel pump re-wire in order?

Get slicks.
yeah radials r deff one of my nxt investments i get. if u only saw the track that i normaly go to u could see y my times not very good lol. its a back woods redneck place. haha the track hasn't been paved in yrs, yrs, yrs.... and is all uneven and shitty. i thought it was just my driving, but no1 realy gets good times there. cant get real good traction. i'm going to a nother track nxt week where every1 sez u can get good traction so we'll see
Short throw shifters are overrated in my opinion. The synchronizer is still going to have to speed up or slow down the gear. If you wanted to shift quicker you could just slam the stock shifter into gear harder (puts more stress on the synchros) which is essentially what a short throw shifter does.

Did you ever do a boost leak test? What did you trap this time? 60' time?
29psi on stock motor is a lot of pressure dude. Those pistons start getting iffy before that.
Well the FIC is in and runs, I have a appointment for a local turbo dodge tuner this thursday. I really have no idea what kind of boost I will run I am just looking for more than the 395WHP I have right now on 23 psi. I have seen others do 27 so in the end that might be all I end up with.

yeah i did a boost leak test. 2 leaks. fixed one and mostly fixed the other. (where the charge pipe connects to the turbo). my 60ft time was 2.2 /mph was 87. (1.5mph increase of last week) the boost leaks where fixed like 2 and half weeks ago tho, so its not like i found them after my first run and ran better 2nd time at the track.
