Screw that. Just get rid of all of the dead weight inside the car. The difference between a stock 15" steelie and a nice aluminum 17 is probably, what, about 2-3lbs each? Taking out a couple hundred pounds of seats will do a whole lot more.

That is what I am saying....if I had some 15" rims and took out the back seat and such.....I have no doubt I would have pulled a 15 sec timeslip.

I found out what caused the 10 psi spike.....the bogging from 1-2.

I manually shift it. When it bounced off the rev limiter it spiked the boost at 10 psi.....I am curious about this too....

you should be able to get better time than that but its not bad at all. mine got 16 seconds 1/4 mile before the supercharger was fitted, i was using nitrous but it still wasnt as powerful as it is now, and i seriously ruined the launch. but mine is manual.
had mine round the silverstone F1 circuit recently with the supercharger on, and wow what an experience! power, handling, brakes, everything was spot on.
