About average IMO. Alot depends on the track and conditions. In Vegas u would be hanging with the modded Evos. Vegas the town of the 13 sec Evo.

Not too shabby for the first time and especially in an AWD. If your wanting 1.7 60ft. times than your going to need a little practice. Keep in mind that launching your car aggressively can cause some drivetrain issues. I have heard of numerous cars cutting 1.7's with no issues, but I have also heard of some drivetrain parts broken after just a few hard launches. As the saying goes you gotta pay to play. Have fun and keep it at the track.

I think you can get a better time and higher trap speed, but the best I can see you doing is maybe 13.5-13.6@100-101MPH, so you have an average EVO. Not all EVOs are created equal some are more powerful than others (this is the case for all cars). Hey atleast you don't have a super slow and underpowered EVO

Well that changes things, not trying to sound like an ***, but you should have mentioned this in the first place. Maybe a leak, or maybe you need to get tuned. You should trap higher than 99MPH.

You have to get tuned, i put down 196 hp untuned(mustang dynamo meter) with a tbe, mbc. After I got tuned( on afcII) I put down 278...makes a big difference.

A flash eliminates the need for an s-afc. Flash fine tunes it much better.

Get a flash and you will optimize your mods. You should be runing in the low 13's. With a full turbo back exhaust you could be in the high 12's easily. It make a huge difference.

Yes, you can do much better. Yes, this is slow, if not VERY slow. View my sig for what to expect in an 05 near sea level. On an '04, you can subtract .2s and 2mph for the stock time, but you can't really compare my time w/S-AFC, since you have no tune. Hopefully, people will start to learn that doing all those power mods are a big waste without proper tuning. They are great for increasing power, but without a tune, their true potential is not being tapped.
