as far as reaction time?

60 foot

Work on your launch (60 ft). Those times are worse then stock ecoboost times no offense you will get better. Also you may want to go to a different tune provider I gaurantee that will help your time as well

How much air pressure did you run in your tires? Your sixty should be 1.8-1.9 easy. It not easy with a manual? You need to learn to ride the clutch out and feed in the throttle progressively.

Keep in mind El Paso Motorplex DA is notoriously high - it's 3800' above sea level before you even factor in weather.

Yes, need tires.

yeah ive tried data logging with bama but never had an luck getting the car dialed in. I'm planning on getting tune + with adam e30 but i don't know if i should just wait to run straight e85

not much to be gained from E30 to E85 with the stock turbo.

Don't worry about reaction time. The timer only starts when your tires leave the tree. You have an ok trap speed so the power is there but you'll need to get the 60' time down below 2 seconds to get a good E.T. Don't drop the clutch, instead ride it out quickly. Also, rev high. The manual needs plenty of revs off the line to not bog.

Texas in November should yield some good ambient temps. Was the car temperature cool? And ditch that Bama tune.

temps were in the 50 degrees f. also I have the 3.31 gearing. don't know if that changes anything. what rpm are you launching at? and how do you ride out the clutch?

15psi is WAY too low for street tires. I would not go below 22-24psi. Street tires are not designed to operate at those low pressure, and the center of the tire will tend to cup inward/upward decreasing your contact patch. Start at about 28psi and work down a couple psi if you still spin. Obviously you don't want to launch at too high of an rpm on street tires either.

This is what test and tune is for. To work out bugs, and learn the car, and how to launch it. Good luck!

The gearing is no problem. Put your tires back up to 25 at least.

Every car is different but I launch at about 2.75K-3K RPM and ride the clutch out for about 1 full second. I consistently get 1.9 sixty foot times but my car is also fully loaded and the performance pack wheel/tire combo is tricky to launch well.
