time for 1/8 and 1/4 mile trap speed - miles per hour / mph

just trying to figure out what trap speed you guys have reached with a no modded evolution 8?? i think i got a lemon on my hand, cause my top mph at the 1/4 is 93mph!! shifted at redline with many attempts. any ideas wtf i am doing wrong or what some problem this car might be having? a problem with fuel to air ratio? at the 1/8 mile, i am at a 75mph! any help would be appreciated.....

maybe shift @ about 7100/7200 rpms. it seems like the car will go about 7250 before cutting fuel., btw, did you go to campbel's tonight?, how is the new clutch doing?

maybe , but one to two hundred rpms isnt going to do that much .

i am still using my old clutch. my 60 foot times are decent below 2 seconds. i dont think thats a problem with my speed
