Closing in on the record 2.0 stock turbo time bit by bit:

The other car there is a 2007 BMW 335i. He has top end that just won't quit!
Full run log for the night:
All runs are 93 Octane pump gas with 0 additives (-0.96 OAR), 1/4 tank of gas, spare, jack, full interior and other goodies. Using the LMS v11 93 octane Aggressive tune.
Car is running MUCH more consistently than previous trips to the track. Feeling like this is getting very close to being dialed in!
I have found that launching like everyone keeps telling me to (rolling out first) yields my worst times all around. My last run I did it the way I always used to do it with the Monte Carlo and how a lot of SHO drivers (thanks EBPF!) do it, which is power braking to max stall (around 3k rpm) and slamming it with the lights. This gets the most wheel hop (and man do I HOP) but also gets the best times, shifts and strongest pull from 1-3rd gears.
Suspension is too soft still, I am waiting on flatout's adjustment tools so I can stiffen the rear shocks more so right now my butt bounces like a stripper looking for that last dollar. I also ran with stock tire pressure (35-37psi). Also still running the CP-E intake; switching back to stock may net me another tenth or so. I am hopeful that with less bounce, tires at about 30-32psi, the stock intake box (or shielding the CP-E) and a decent DA that I will be able to cut that 13.9 I want before the end of the season.
That snorkel Velossa is working on would be a boon as well IMO.
