Any leaks, tire pressure, might wanna try to run your empty so u can add race gas for the track then turn up the boost a lil more. My 2 cents..

Check the accelerator initiation device. Ensure the base plate fully extends and connects the pedal with the floor /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Yeah ... I actually don't do that anymore, I think there is something wrong with my car. The closer that pedal gets to the carpet the more the cabin gets filled with a noxious odour ... and screams, lots of screams!
