but it blew up ;) I can up my boost to 30 psi and it would make a nice figure, but may have a similar outcome.

Exactly!

:)

Ever notice too how some people always have some "buffer" excuses about the power/speed of their car, like:

"Oh I made 300rwkw, but I had a leak in the intercooler ... so I could get more power"

"I ran a 11.0 second quarter, but I was running lower boost ... so the car could go faster"

The key word is "could". You could, but didn't. When I drag raced, I was cutting 11.08 sec timeslips at best. Had another guy claim he could run a high 10sec. That guy could have, but didn't ... he popped his engine. My engine consistently put up with the abuse, and delivered the timeslips to back it up. Worse time ever was a 12.4 after a stall.

When I raced bikes at Mallala, I was running 1m17s times. Other racers said they could do a 1m17s also, but never delivered. Always some excuses about bad tyres or wrong suspension setting. If you had it right when you ran your "1m17s" you'd be consistent at it all the time.

Numbers are only serious when they're on paper and consistent.
