    im not a fan of the pt88 by any means, but i doubt youre just going to go throw a new turbo on it so ill just leave that alone.
    but essentially, IMO, your problem is that its jsut not making the power and torque to make you leave hard. so like Devin said, just crank up the boost off the line (how you go about doing that is another topic) and itll run like you want it to

    no reason you shouldnt be leaving on 10+ psi with it ramping in to whatever your max boost is almost instantly (within a second or so)

    Wheels spinning in the tires? If those tires aren't screwed to the rim or if you didn't use hi-tac, I'd bet money they're spinning on the rim with that heavy ass truck. We had the same tires on the trans am and had to screw them because they spun about 1.5" on the rim at launch. That's one place to look.

    Jakes Performance brake FTW.... Maybe a little spray out of the hole to help it spool. Gear and tire setup is fine IMO. It just sounds like it doesn't have the power bite it needs to hit hard.

    Most sports require one ball, motocross requires two.

    Racing isn't a matter of life and death, it's much more important than that.
