my 60' sucks at 1.8. front wheels spinning and they chirp at 1-2 ,2-3 shifts what can help wheel spin i know this thing should be much quicker with my mph im getting.boost was at 19lbs im going back in a few weeks with race gas and 22lbs any advice on launch and wheelspin, i tried dump and slipping it

 

you need to get a better tire combo/suspension setup or something if you are honestly chirping your tires from 2-3....i spin all through 1st and part of 2nd and run mid 11s at 123 mph and still don't chirp into 3rd....lol

 

Nah, it's because that track was cold and didn't prep worth a crap :}

 

i also run on a horrible track around here (dragway 42) and the last few times we ran it was about 45-50 degrees

 

Ditto on the 1st gear spin!! Once you start putting down good power, a good tire/suspention combo is definitely needed. I have an in car video of the camera facing the passenger side rear and you can see the *** end of the evo getting sideways from the launch, lol . If you are interested I can post it up. My 1st gear pretty much spins out. Next time I am going to try and lower my tire pressure see if it helps.

Good luck with the lower ETs. Its just a matter of getting more runs under your belt and you'll start gettting the hang of it.

 

I would be intrested in seeing your timing and fuel mapping. Maybe we can compare notes. I just did a reflash and I am constantly adjusting the maps. I live in Orlando, so if this is cool, just e-mail me. Do you data log? I have an almost stock evo. Profec-b, no cat, K&N drop in, forge motorsports BOV, 110 fuel, 22lbs, I ran a 12.20 @ 106mph. Max timing was 15deg. My 60's are 1.6 and 1.7 consistantly. I would like to get into the 11's with the stock exhaust and airbox. I am doing some port work on an extra 16g and I just purchased a head that I will be porting, larger valves, 272 cams. So, let me know if we can compare data logging. I am always willing to help out my fellow Evo owners!

What suspension setup are you running

 

i ran a 12.3 at 108 in 40 degree weather with all season tires... 1.6 60 foot, car hooked up perfectly. I think it's the tires and possibly the track, but lower your tire pressure that should help out a lot.

 

i lowered front to 20lbs and back up to 34lbs, didnt help a whole lot, and yes i have crappy goodyear tires

 

titanium strut bars, tein ra coilovers (aluminum bodied) 14 out of 16 setting stiff , 245 40 17 conti sport 2 tires (25psi f/b) on 5zigen 17X9 rims with 35mm offset ....still haven't gotten a alignment

 

Dave,

The alignment will make a world of a difference.

 

Yeh, those goodyears don't help that much either.

 

Yo what's up ruben; Im the guy you met at the gas station with the blue evo.

 

you ran the EXACT time i ran at steele

what are the odds?

i ran 12.83@109 with a 1.8 60 foot.

 

Steve,

You in Orlando right?
