88 turbo 2 feels slow..even after tune
as title says the car just feels slow to what it used to. current setup
-rebuilt motor with aprx 10k matched exhaust port
-bnr stage 3 turbo
-15-17 psi
-full 3in exhaust
-act 6 puck with act 17lb flywheel
-550cc/1600cc injectors
-all emissions removed
-power fc
-running 4 trailing spark plugs
-fmic
-banzai racing adapter harness
the car doesnt even break traction in any gear anymore? was just street tuned and the afrs are staying in the low 11s under wot. any idea to anything else to look at?

on hankook venus v12 225/40/17. tuned for afrs he said timing was fine. was tuned by a very good tuner steve osley in nc. has done great work for me in the past. it felt faster on the stock ecu with safc lol. also forget im running a walboro 255 for fuel
Has base timing been set/checked? If not, I would.
A few years ago we were getting ready for a race at the last minutes and made some upgrades to the car. Long story short the base timing was off by a few degrees and the car was noticeably slower. Once we properly settiming the car felt like a rocket.

Did you switch from a TMIC to a FMIC? What size FMIC piping are you using? I had this same problem when I switched from stock turbo & TMIC to BNR Stage 2 and 3" FMIC. It actually made the car slower.
no nothing has changed on my setup besides getting it tuned and with the power fc...last time i tuned it on the stock ecu and safc..idk just seems a 300+ whp fc should at least break traction?
by slower it just feels eh....nothing impressive as it used to be...i would expect the tune to make it feel faster and smoother..which it is alot smoother in the drivability but down on power. just replaced plugs and wires as well

Youre leaving something out here bro.
You say the car had plenty of power before the tune.
Then you had it tuned by steve olsen in NC.
Now, did the car not have any power right after the tune, OR the car had plenty of power when you left the tuner and something else happened.
Which one is it?
If this problem happened directly after the tune, why wouldnt you go back to the tuner? Did he do a dyno? What were the numbers?
Something is bullshit here.

ok so you installed the new ECU, and had it tuned by Steve.
Steve didnt say "Hey your car feels weak as ****?"
I mean, you said it wont even burn out in 1st gear right?
My old NA would burnout in 1st gear, and it was only like 130hp.

damn feeling the love guys....ive had the car dynoed probably three times in the past three years with close to the current setup...on the safc was 307whp...on the rtek was 339whp....i would expect the power fc to be close to the same......im just looking for any advice on things to check
