An 18" will work better, but the 19's work just fine. Just gotta turn the PSM off an use your right foot for traction control When it does hook up though you will likely have to shift the 1-2 shift a little closer to redline, I also shift at or near redline in the other gears as well. Either should work fine if you shift quick enough.

Something Corey left out, he was running fuel , maybe half 93 pump and half 104, the reason i am posting is so others who read this don't go out to the track and run the boost he was with out good fuel, I would hate to read someone posting he blew the motor at the track because he saw someone else do it..... This doesn't take away from the great time he ran, just looking out for the members.

With that weather it's a good thing. I've run a 50/50 mix before and picked up 2mph at the same boost, I'm sure the added cool weather helps but could put things closer to their limits. It's always nice to keep a 5 gallon pail of race gas in the garage, throw it in when you're going to the track for a few extra points. Whats cheap for braggin rights, can save your wallet a ton. Hell that should be the point any time you plan on making adjustments to your setup or boost, $60-120 in race gas can go a long way.

one love I agree 100% . It was really cold and he didn't have AFR gauge and we didn't really know how safe it was running.One can never too safe when running in such cold weather and it was cold! I am sure most know this , It was just a reminder.
