LOL IT SUCKED. Hot as hell, hottest day of the week. Great day to run a car.

15.93 @ 85.3MPH
(R/T +0.109)

Best out of my eight runs, which ranged up to 16.21. Wow. Only saw 3lbs of boost the whole time, saw 4 PSI for about a second (first time ever) in 2nd gear. I need to buy that 2.7" supercharger pulley so I at least see the what it's SUPPOSED to put out with the STOCK pulley (5-6 PSI). I wanted to see a 14 so bad. Maybe when I go back with the smaller pulley on a far cooler day, and remember to remove all the seats and ice down the intake/radiator before I run. (I drove there, raced, and drove back, so the car was pretty hot). Also gonna get the new thermostat, etc.

Meh. Not even as good as a stock Alero... but nearly everyone was complaining they ran a second slower than usual today.. (mid 13s car running high 14s etc)

Man track conditions make or break ya. When I get my car out I will let you know what mine runs stock (it should be 4-4.5 psi).

People overlook it but your Trans temp is as important, if not more so, than your engine temp. Keep the tranny as cool as possible before a run and especially make sure you have enough down time between when you drive down there and when you make a pass. I have to let my car sit for at least 45 mins during the summer before I race her or else the times are way sluggish.

^lol i'd hope so

well now for some reason i'm boosting steadily 4-4.5 PSI so that's cool. i'll be back to the track on a cooler day sometime (using a lot more tips I found off j-body for racing a 4T40E) and without all the seats/extra weight, plus a smaller pulley

5-7 PSI
