Not to scale
This happened last summer, right when i had first started tuning my ty, and right before I realized what the banging noise from the front of the motor was (thought it was the ac compressor)
Anyway, I had jsut started tuning my truck for full throttle like, that day. I had been tuning for everyday driving for prolly a week before that and thought I had a pretty good idea of what I was doing, ( I didnt really) but the boost was turned down as far as it would go just so i could get a clue as to how it was gonna act at high rpm and in boost. thats the prestory...
So im sitting at a light with my poorly tuned stock ty looking at my laptop with a friend of mine, and a loud red ws-6 pulled up next to me and is just lookin at me, and after a few seconds I realized it was a guy I used to work with. he says hes a fan of the tys and had always wanted one, but didnt think they were all that fast, which I took as a challenge. I got ready to do a boost launch, a move I had never done before. i didnt hold the pedle down at all, just kinda burped the throttle and put it into nuetral and then back into drive waiting for the light change. I looked down at my laptop to see that the knock retard was visible (it was) and then herd squiling tires...poop, i thought. But I gave it some throttle watched the boost build to about 4 psi and let go. by the time I had launched he had pulled a good 4 cars on me, but I instantly pulled up and put 2 on him, the whole time I'm watching my kr floating at about 2 degrees. i stayed ahead of him strong until about 65, then he walked by me at about 85 and i let off. looking at the logs I peaked at 11.8 psi, so i concidered it a vicotry.
