are you still runnign the stock clutch? that could also hold him up. i know the stocker has gone well into the 11s, but someone not experienced might have a tough time with it.
also, like 3000ways said, it could be your shifting.

No I burned up my stock clutch on my stock turbo setup. Has a tripple disk in it now. It is definitely my 1-2 shift. Oh and I might need to up my start duty on 2nd gear, because boost might not be building quick enough.

Hey man, I met you while you were at the track in Al. I was the guy riding shotgun in the civic when we raced you. I built that car and the guy who owns it is a good buddy of mine that I sold it to. Its good to see your mph get up to the mid 115.x range, MMP can be a slow track since the humidity is usually really high. We couldn't get out of the hole very well against you, but our 114.5mph trap made up for our lack of launching ability at the end of the track . Anyways, good to see you on here, I should be picking up my EVO soon. Incase you still don't remember me, I am the brother of the guy you met with the other black evo.

Yea you bastards jumped me off the line! It would have actually been a good race had we waited for the tree. You were definitely strong on the top end. I only ran a 108 trap speed that run. I wouldn't say this track is less humid though... I don't understand why my traps are so high at this track, but whatever Actually I think I know what it is. I have been putting 101 octane in so I am probably just not getting timing pulled on me on the top end. Even though I made some 114 and 115 runs on straight 93 so I dunno.

I thought the brother of the other black evo own the wrx and use to own the civic? He was the one riding with me. 12.8 with two people in the car was fine by me though

Na, that was the youngest brother...I am the middle brother . Haha, yea, we did jump you off the line, it is hilarious on the vid. If I can ever get it from my buddy, I will send you a copy. Its actually a really good run. You creep up on us mid track and then we start to pull back off on the top end. Anyways, good runs and keep up the good work. Your going to see some wicked times and mph once the tuning, mods, and octane are all together in the right combination.

Yea definitely get me a copy, because I never get to see how I drive. The car was definitely pulling timing on me up top that run. It does that to me with extra weight. I should have just ran the leaded 112 they had there....I just prefer to run the 101 unleaded and they didn't have any high octane unleaded.
