Posting this in 2.3 forum, but feel free to move if it should go somewhere else.
I have made some late season changes here, and the car has come around a good bit. I have really turned the boost down to 23 psi, and not been running on kill in the summer heat. Decided to get some suspension sorted out, and be ready to make some hard passes when the cool air comes. Car has effectively been bracket racing as a 12.50-12.60 combo depending on tmeperature, it's going rounds and making me happy. Best recent times are very low 12.50's at 109 mph, with 60' times 1.67.
Keep in mind this is a stock T3 turbo car, stock long block, etc.
I installed the Baseline Suspension street launch kit in the rear. I wasnt reeal sure about it when installed because my ET streets where mostly used up. Picked up a set of Hoosier Quick Time Pro's to go along with them, and things came together.
Sorry for the poor quality pictures, but these are video captures from video taken with a digital camera. None the less, they put a smile on my face :D

Car is driven to and from the track every day (15 miles), and driven to work when the weather is nice. I'm real happy with it right now :D
