Why is your boost so LOW? given the low boost the time isn't that bad.

we are talking about an fd right?

were you spinning and let out of it after you started?

it seems that even @ 7psi the time should be slightly quicker.

it is hard to analyize w/o having all of the details......

Are you sure you want your boost set so low? You should really turn it up to 10.

Is the motor freshly rebuilt? Is that the reason for the boost being limited that low?

Yes I am talking about a FD, and Yes its a Freshly Built motor. but i heard that my restricter pills were taken out thats why im making less boost. so i guess ive solved my problem of why my boost is so low, but is 15.1 @ 7psi a good quater mile run? oh yah i got intake, down pipe, full catback exhaust, Koyo racing radiator, and a blitz blow off valve wich dont add ****. but does that sound right??

your 1/4 mile time should be in the 13's with all the stuff you got.

Did you already break the motor in properly?

If not, I wouldn't be doing 1/4 mile runs on it yet.

If you got 3k on the motor already, have your boost upped to 10psi. That's more than safe if you aren't creeping at all. What kind of ecu are you running? From your mods list above, it doesn't look like you've got one. If that's the case, I'd recommend looking into an aftermarket ECU that will allow you to control boost properly (PFC, Haltech, etc.), then up that boost. With all of your mods at 10psi you should easily make low 13's in the 1/4, and maybe even high 12's.

I have an DP, intake, cat-back and Blitz SMIC. I have a boost leak so I am getting 5-6 psi after about 5K. I ran a stock 300ZX TT from a roll and he beat me by about 2 car lengths so I think you should be faster than a 15.1
