My car has a constant mixture of 95 octane in my tank. I mix the 100 and the 92 to achieve this. I had several times that were 13.4@104, and even some 14.0@103. My tune is for 95, that is why I use the gas mix. I shift at between 7,400 and 7,800 RPM. I have not hard fuel cut, but there is a cut a 8k I think.

Hmmm...so how much boost are you getting from your SR55 turbo? when does it start making boost? Looks like you're bogging off the line if you only ran 13.4s @ 104mph. I think you should launch @ 5500rpm at least to make sure your turbo has spooled up. Whats your 60 ft time? and 1/8 mile E.T.? By the way, @ what RPM does your peak HP occur?

I think that you have some sort of mechanical problem. I can't wait to take a look at it and hopefully be able to help you figure out what it is.
