What times should I run?

I ran my car with a CB, DP, clutch, flywheel and ran a 13.3 but it definately had room for improvement.

Since then I put on a PFC and commander, intake(apexi) and boost controller. I also lowered the car, might help with traction??
I will probably run race gas so that I can up the boost to 12-13 pounds. Does anyone thinks thats too much with this setup. I havent had asny tuning done to the PFC yet. I was told it will have no problem with these mods. I never asked about uping the boost..

Tell me what you think I was thinking 12-6-12.9 in that ballpark.

boost level should stay around 12.
my experience shows that the power fc is way too lean down low with the base maps. I was detonating on the dyno on the initial WOT punch at around 2500-3000rpms.
i would add some fuel via PIM from 2k-5k rpms. But get a dyno tune no matter what your mods are. The power fc base maps are a rough tune.

yeah they are a rough tune but I experienced them rich out of the 'box'. Especially high up, they were in the 9's and I have a wideband FJO A/F unit linked to my PowerFC so I believe my values are accurate (I seem to have a .3 offset but I'm taking this into account).

You definitley want to get good A/F numbers before you start mucking around.
