I FINALLY ran my car through the 1/8th mile down in Mobile. Only had time for 2 passes, unfortunately because I discovered later that I forgot to turn the boost back up from where I got tired of hitting fuel cut in 2nd, for a second, when it full boost. So here are my times at full weight with a cone filter, crappy flowing exhaust, LWFW, and a Greddy-ish BOV, on only 6psi, and first time down the track in 2.5 years or more, first time ever in a turbo, 5spd, or RWD car. Please keep that in mind and don't be too harsh!

1st Pass

Reaction - 1.30
60' - 2.83
330' - 7.06
594' - 9.33
1/8 (est) - 10.00
1/8 MPH - 67.37

2nd Pass

Reaction - 0.75
60' - 2.56
330' - 6.75
594' - 9.02
1/8 (est) - 9.68
1/8 MPH - 67.57

I know my 60' times need some work, but I'm thinking very low 9's, possibly a high 8 on the current setup, if I cut the 60' down to about 2.2 and actually run 10psi. For those wondering why I put the 594' time, Mobile Dragway is 66' short of the true 1/8th, so they estimate what your 1/8th time would be for you, which I think is a bad estimate for turbo cars.
