Mark Poole in a turbododge finished in second place points in stock/superstock combo 2 years in a row at the "Hill" in Nashville. And there were a bunch of heavy hitters running there back then. So you can go rounds. My car was most consistent running it hard, running overweight but not shortshifting or playing with the boost..

You ran a manual boost controller, right? Not computer control? I think that helps. The computer has adaptives that are always adjusting the wastegate to keep the boost (and knock) under control. I'm going to turn off all the adaptives this year and see if I can't get some consistency out of the thing. It's really strange - it will run severals passes in the same range, and then it will be off 0.2 for no apparent reason. I think it's the computer trying to take over...
I also think boost and traction off the line are key. Because turbos need load to spool; the better your traction, the faster the boost will build. I think getting the traction off the line consistent is key. And, that's doubly hard if you're FWD becuase the 'groove' is 8ft behind your slicks...
