above 300ish whp street tires are just useless and all the practice in the world with them won't help you when you get some real tires under the car. it's a whole different ballgame.

Nice. I almost went up there on friday, it was great weather, but then I remembered I don't have DRs nor slicks anymore so I said F it.

Nice slip man. Hopefully you find out what's wrong and then you should get into the 12s. Good luck.

Took a look c @ your dyno again. I would think there was an exhaust restriction (bottle neck).
Or maybe you have a boost leak/ creeping wastegate.
Man If I were that close I would run an "open exhaust" (down pipe back)
oh & leave the mevi tied open for @ least one run To see if your trap speed cahnges.
My 2 cents..
