"A-4-1 Seq. Turbo Cont ^
• Switch Stock Sequential Turbo Control {A-1 Boost Control} on or off

o Uncheck box for Single Turbo applications or if you DON’T want the Power FC to try to control Boost
Use mouse to Check or Uncheck the “Seq. Turbo Cont” check box
• Use; {A-1 Boost Control} to edit actual Boost Control Settings
• Switch off if you have a single turbo and wish to use the Apexi single turbo boost control kit {N-4 Boost Control Kit for single turbo}

GOt that from PFC and dataloggit instructions, looks like you are right. about it not controlling.

Rather then going off of some of the moronic statements I've seen posted, go here to find out http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/...1/zr1perf.html

Check with dataloggit, I am sure it fixes that, if it doesn't they will porbably make it for you.
hope that helps. BTW, the manual to the PFC is posted in the power FC section.

Best thing to do is to just get a nice ebc. I have a 4 year old Blitz DSBC and it works fine.

Theoretically you could get the PFC to control boost using the stock solenoid(s) but it'd be far easier to use an aftermarket boost controller like the AVC-R. Unfortunately, I made the jump to the AVC-R before going single, even though I have the PFC. Never had any problems with the PFC but the AVC-R was a pain in the *** with the stock sequential system. I seem to have it dialed in however.
FYI, I had a little run-in with a 2002 Z06 (blue) today and pulled two car lengths on him in third and he couldn't catch up with me in 4th until he pulled into my draft. I have the stock engine/turbos too. You should have no problem beating a ZR-1. I make about 340rwhp.

A 7 with 315-330 will prob come down to the driver. If you've got 340+ you shouldnt have a problem

Technically he said stock turbos/engine. With all the normal bolt-ons, a FD can give a z06 a good run.

A supercharger is a bolt-on, for example...

I did say stock engine meaning the engine, not the computer, injectors, intercooler, exhaust, etc...the turbos are as they came from the factory as well, no modifications whatsoever. EVERYTHING else has been modified as you can see from my sig. Had I not been driving in heavy traffic which heat-soaked my IC/engine bay, it would have been worse and I'm pretty sure I would have pulled 4-5 car lengths on him. I've raced the 385hp versions and beaten them without much effort. Most is from roll-on stuff. I'll post all the details in a new thread, this section.

It seems he did some research and he's not so confident anymore.
Today I finally had some nice weather so i had a chance to install the Aluminum AST and to adjust the boost. I"m running about 14.5 psi, assumin i'm converting correctly--peak hold on the power FC was 1.02kg/cm^2, but full boost was consistently between 0.95 and 1.00.... 1kg/cm^2 = 14.7 psi, right? Well anyway, i'm somewhere in that neighborhood, and it seemed a bit quicker, but not THAT much quicker. WE have spring break starting friday, so it looks like i won't be racing him until afterwards.
He wants to do a top speed run, but i'm a little scared. I havne't had the 7 past 110, and the fastest i've ever been was 130 in the Bimmer. I'm a tad scared of being anywhere near 200mph. I'd hate to wrap this car around a tree after only having it for 2 months, or i guess at those speeds i should be more concerned about killing myself. I have roll bar and 5 point harnesses, but even those might not be enough at 200mph.
Anyone had there FD going that fast, that has any words of wisdom? How long does it take to get up to 185 or so?
Oh BTW, what shoudl have the boost setting on for the power FC? shoudl i set it to waht i'm running? It has a "Pr" and an "Se" settings ( which i assume are primary and secondary refering to the turbos. How does this work for a single? Do i set both of them to like 1.00kg/cm^2 ??
THanks for any help guys!!
