please read second paragraph "how does reaction time effect affect ET"
Hmm interesting so in a case where one car crosses the finish line first, but the other has a lower ET, who "wins"?

Ah ok, do you have a manual? Doing the LC thing more over and over on the PDK seemed pretty pointless to me.

Again, this statement is laughably ignorant. Do you know how much pressure it would take to 'blow and intake manifold'. Please send some info that backs up your statement. I'm betting you cannot find any make of turbo vehicle that 'blew' the intake manifold welds at 18 psi. Good luck

Unfortunately, Vin said, "You're lucky the 100 shot of NOS didn't blown the welds on the intake."

"What's the MSRP on one of those?"

"More than you could afford. Ferrari."

The fact is one or more of the following:
A) GIAC does more than 2 extra pounds of boost
B) the car doesn't make the extra power and its all marketing
C) Its a crap tune - and just marketing

Has to be one or a combination of those facts. Its not a 500hp car with another 2 pounds of boost.

He doesn't or why else would he mention his reaction time? Guy doesn't know what he's talking about. Didn't include a slip either.

Heh, some of the people on this board have no idea how to have fun.

Why so on my case about the slip? It was 3 years ago and my times were slower than the R&T tested .1C2S PDK SC times.

You still haven't figured out in those three years reaction time has nothing to do with the elapsed time?

Frankly, I'd like to see the slip as I don't believe you. I don't believe that someone who ran a time you claimed would not know how a dragstrip's timing equipment works. I also don't believe the numbers you claim either.
