Im way ahead of myself as the car isnt running, but just thinking outloud about it. Class racing is fun as hell, just hope i can partake soon.
Get it together, then see where you're at. You can always lower shift points if you're not too far off.

What about pulling timing? I know doing so with boost kills mad power, if its na would it do the same, or would i have to take out like 10 degrees to slow it down a qtr second or so? I assume you do something to dial your car in so close to 7.000?

It won't have as much effect na but it does make a difference and is a good option.

Mine is just a good setup for it. Normal h/c/i car. Safe on the timing and tune with a 50 shot and I've got my number.
