I've heard that there's a difference between when u run your car at the track and when u do it on the streets with the tune. What makes it any different?

Yeah Vit and Jay both said its different on the track in my build thread on the 8th. I can tell you at the track I was hitting boost cut, while we were still working on the race gas tune, but I was not hitting it on the street with that same tune. As to why its different, I have no idea! Vit offered to tune me while I'm at the track, we just have to set it up before hand. In order to do this I have to figure out how to tether my computer to my phone for internet, since the track has no wifi, and I also need to know when I will be able to go to the track again, which probably won't be for a little while since school just started. The two week nights the track is open is Wednesday and Friday, on Wednesday I have class 6-9 and on Friday I want to work because that's the money night!
I would assume traction. Your tires can ever-so-slightly lose traction then gain then lose then gain etc on the street due to imperfect roads. As for wireless at the track, I know optimum and verizon have wireless internet adapters for service almost anywhere in the US. That's a possibility.
Does anyone know if my turbo can be changed into a pretty much normal t3 gt3076 by swapping the turbine housings?
Absolutely, what turbo are you running and what manifold?Quote:

Update: Car absolutely loves these 65* temps!! Too bad boost cut doesn't like it as much as I keep hitting it in 4th. Time for a log...
Going to the track tomorrow and I will be doing my best to break into the 12's. Hopefully the slightly cooler weather helps!
Was not able to break into the 12's last night. Best run of the night was my first 1, ran 13.5 with a 2.2x 60ft. Only did 2 other runs attempting launch harder (and failing), then my friend that came with me had to go home suddenly because of some family issues and I was his ride so we left early. O well, gonna take some practice getting a hard launch down well, going to try preloading next time out. So far only 7 passes in total with the turbo setup.
Just bought a somewhat complete fuel return setup that I will complete and install sometime before spring. I see E85 in my future :)
