H & R coilovers, TRD strut brace front, Ingalls 4-point brace rear, Hotchkis sways front and rear.
Wilwood big brakes, slotted/drilled rotors if that was your next question.
I'm pretty good at closed circuit, I mostly suck at drag racing.... so far.

I am practicing at 15 pounds, I'm not going to run hotter until I get better. Also, I have more programming to do to the boost controller to help get power to the ground. Not tuning for more than 22 until I get an equal length manifold, this log style will kill the turbo.
I also have some more rubber coming in a couple of weeks. I'm inspired by you guys in the 12's and I will get there.
Next time at the track I'll get some inside video for you. Probably June 5.
Next mod: 3" turbo back exhaust.
It would be an honor to have a quote from me in the sig of one of the highest HP tC's I know....
I am looking forward to some new times man. I hope/wish for you to break 11's at least.You can do it, I have faith. And what boost controller are you running again?

- If you have diff axels get some slicks and see what she can do ... no doubt you are doing everything the right way w/ your car. You ever consider taking the back seat out or do you want the inside to be stock? You could always put a false floor where the rear seats were and just carpet it.What boost controller do you have? Decreasing the boost in first and second gear is deff a good idea since you could get some nice jumps.

I have the World Racing TBC-1 boost controller. I have yet to teach it my gears, then I can program boost by gear. Any suggestions?
I like racing track more than drag, so I'm afraid the Wilwood's will be staying (member, NASA, favorite track, the big track at Willow Springs). My car is set up more for rally/autocross than anything else.
And a little bling thrown in for the shows.
I know Chris Rado has 17 x 11's on his Time Attack car with Brembo brakes; I should be able to set up something similar with some drag radials.
Back seat and weight issues..., well I have been thinking about that. BUT...this is my daily driver (I take my son to school in it), so I think the interior stays and I like my system too (removable for the track at least).

oh crap sorry, I forgot. I'll take some tomorrow. I started installing a shift light today (another detail that I think will help me out a lot), and I got hung up on which wires to use.
..so when that's done I'll take some pics tomorrow.

I've suggested motor mounts, but he has an ETD for now (I'm trying to convince him to get motor mounts to see how he likes them before I buy a set :D ).

Sick setup all around. I'm glad to see you practicing and testing at test and tune. Too many people go there trying to kill their car to go so fast when it's called test and tune not beat everyone at all cost. Although I guess I did the same a few times. 
Good job!
Good job!

This is why I have the Defi gauges that provide a playback feature via the control unit. A very niffty little feature to have to show you what your boost is doing in between shifts and what not.

I can see how data logging will be helpful. The TBC-1 has a 90-second record feature, plays back rpm vs. boost so you can tune your boost curves. I haven't tried that feature yet, though.

^^You have a lot of UN-tapped features.
Yeah, definitely figure out your car first before turning up the boost will be the best benefit for you. You may find yourself running faster at a LOWER PSI level once you find out how every thing works.
