Both TurboSpoolinside and my girlfriend ran 12s on race gas with mod lists close to what you have now. Most people can't do it though. 13s shouldn't be too hard though.
I'll eventually get up there, I just need a little more experience with launching with my new clutch. I've heard people say launch it at 5k and dump the clutch, but that didnt work very well for me. So I'm sticking with slipping the clutch during the launch, with some practice I'll try for the 13's.

He is just jealous that he cannot drive a DSM anymore.

the DSM's are fun, but i guess i got a little burned out after driving(ok, more fixing then driving) them for the last 4/5 years.

You got that right...haha. I spent more on repairs for my car than I did for performance, but you still gotta love the cars. Driving them makes up for all the loses... :dsmrule:

Ohh yeah....I almost forgot to ask. Is an Air Fuel gauge really needed. I have an empty gauge pod right under my boost gauge and I need to fill that one up with something. That egt is quite $$$, so that'll have to wait a little while...till like next spring or during winter. Too bad I dont have a winter beater, I feel sorry for my talon. She survived one winter already, can she do it again. I did wash her every tuesday of the week to wash off all that salt and dirt.

Do not get an AF guage unless its a wideband setup... But that costs 400+ so NM. Fil it with an EGT or save your money because EGT isnt that important. How many guages can you look at anyway. get a logger instead.

A/F is worthless unless you get a wideband as Peter said. PLX sells one for $330 though. I will probly get that. I do not think that EGT is totally worthless though. I would like to know if I am getting close to the melting point if you know what I mean.

Wouldnt alarm cry if the turbo-timer was running while I turn the alarm on?

Only if you have an amateur install it. [/b][/quote]
Talk to Cuba (Tony) at Hand Command, and get yourself a Compustar.

It's a timer and alarm. And a pager too

I have a dual gauge pod....and one pod has been empty for half a year already. I need something in it...an egt is like as much as a downpipe itself (almost..haha) and I dont think I'll be melting anything anytime soon. Whats a wideband by the way?

You should definitely be able to hit 12s on that setup. Cher ran 12s on a hell of a lot less.
