Horribly dissapointing and mindboggling time at the track tonight!
As I am writing this I am one confused, angry, and dissapointed turbo LS owner..
Went to the 1/8 mile track tonight..
Ran 9.8@74mph on 3-4lbs of boost.. 2.560ft
then turned up the boost to 8lbs
Ran 9.9@73mph.. 2.5 60ft(yeup lost mph)
lowered tire pressure to 22psi and turned boost back down to 4psi
Ran 9.7@74mph.. 2.4 60ft
turned boost back up to 8psi
Ran 10.2@71mph.. 2.560ft
This week has been a very bad week for my car, my 3rd gear synchro is gone(grinds third ALMOST every time), I cant seem to get my boost controller to work right as u can see in these two posts https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=117513 and https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=113498 and then tonight I wanted to bring it to the track and see if my car was really as slow as I thought it was.. Well I confirmed that considering stock I was running 10.2@69mph w/ 2.460ft in the 1/8..
I just want to sell the bitch, all it is becoming is a big money pit that dissapoints me everytime i drive it..
also with my boost controller set up the way it is, im not even hitting full boost(8psi) until 5kRPM.. I know this cannot be right
My set up is:
Revhard stage 2 kit
3" thermal exhaust
ACT clutch
I know my car should be alot faster..my compression is good, install looks good, turbo seems like its working.. I have everything neccessary to make it haul *** but for some reason its not.. and that is what I am very angry and confused about.. alright, needed to vent.. I feel better now.. anyone have 2 cents on this?

Oh yeh to make the night even worse, there was a guy there with a SC GSR talking sooooooo much trash and I couldnt even talk back cause my car is horribly slow.. on the 10.2 run I lost to a stock civic ex 
and the worse part about it is my third gear wasnt even pulling hard enough to fetch him.. oh and to top it all off, my friend tells me I should sell the turbo stuff and go LSvtec!!!!! ARGGGGGGGhhhhh If i go LS anything it will be LS1 damnit..

I don't think everything is installed right on your car.

Ouch.... I ran a 10.1 on my BONE STOCK LS in the 1/8 mile. 
I think you have something installed wrong or something is broken.

I got a 9.9@72 when i was stock.
And when i had the JRSC i think i was trapping at 80mph through the 1/8th. And that was with a 14.7@95.5 1320.
