another thing is my stock brakes wont hold my car if i torque brake past 2100rpms i think thats when the turbo starts to spool and my brakes just arent good enough to keep it still
Then your numbers are good. The 5.4 you see from magazines or the 4.9 you see from BMS is with a proper drop clutch if manual or overlap launch if automatic. You saw a .5 second reduction which mirrors BMSs claims and confirms another members results with a P3 vent gauge.
