hey what s up
I took my car to the track Thursday night and here is my best run, i am pretty happy with the time but i dont understand why my mph is so low for the time i got
the car is stock of course with only 1700miles on it

R/t .263
60' 1.814
330 5.438
1/8 8.435@ 81.19
1000 11.028
ET 13.195@ 102.70

My other 2 runs were a 13.200@ 102.40 with a 1.795 60'
and a 13.214@103.27 ( first run of the night)

with basic bolt ons that thing is goign to fly

cheers

 

what rpm are u shifting at? are you shifting fast enough? temperature? nice time though... really good launch

 

nice i never get tired of hearin how the 9 did!

 

I wonder how different the 5 speed times are..
Great launches.. great times for stock.

 

i shift right around 7200, and it was mid 40's thurday night, and yes i shift really quick, this not my first evo, i use to have a 05 evo 8 with a tbe, mbc, and reflash and ran 12.7-12.6 @109 consitantly

 

What's the elevation at that track ?

 

around 44 ft, but the problem we have here in florida is pressure altidue is always crazy and we have lot s of humidity here even in winter ( summer is terrible)...

 

Whoa..that's pretty crazy. Basically sea level, I just saw that your profile says Florida.

 

GTKage- Don't be alarmed. Mine ran the same exact mph(103). These things just aren't fast with the Florida humidity. But look at my new numbers with mods-https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/showthread.php?t=179795&page=1&pp=15

Just got to massage them a little Stick with it and buy the basics. Good run...

 

lol oh i know, with basic bolt on's and a reflash that thing is going to be quick

 

seattle humidity kinda sucks too

 

I don't see anything wrong with your speed

Excellent ET by the way

 

What is your launch technique, if you don't mind me asking? My first Evo, so I am curious; and to add to that the rev limiter.

I assume rev to 5000rpm then slip clutch? Once you hit rev limit, does it automatically drop it down to lower rpms or does it just stick at 5000k?

Actually if there was a rev limit at 5000k on my subaru wrx (previous car), that would be perfect because 5000rpm was the sweet spot to launch on a WRX.

Thanks in advance for the tips!

 

this is the way i launch: full throttle bouncing off the 5000rpm limiter, slip the clutch really quickly ( do not dump it or the car will bog) and off i go
If i feel the clutch sliping too much i let of the gas a lil til it catches but i never had to do that with my evo 9 yet

good luck and have fun

 

good 60' the best I could do out here in vegas is 1.85 w/ the limiter
