I have been reading here for quite some time and every post you make really makes you look like a dicksucker. Can't you just for once say congrats on the time? Or do you have to be upset that you don't have the world's most blessed EVO. There are other guys out there making good power.
He is simply asking for proof and or a reason behind those times. I for one have not seen any proof on any of the posters claims. Warrtalon would give congrats on his times had he posted any proof. Why not a time slip? Everyone gets one after a race. TT was not even there to see the run, so no one knows (including the tuner) if these times are correct. warrtalon has posted more facts about an Evos 1/4 mile time than anyone here.

I am a Evo lover just as much as the next guy, however I have no reason to break warrtalons ***** on his questions. I for one want to know for sure if a Evo IX will do 11s on such min mods

You've bought into all the bs. There is no way to prove if the guy ran the time or not. You either have to accept that he did and take his word or not. He could post a slip and video, but that doesn't mean he ran the time claimed with just the mods listed. What level of "proof" will meet your standards? I believe there is nothing he can do to really prove it short of having some independant third party completely inspect the car and verify all the claimed mods.

The problem with the naysayers is that the common arguement is that it hasn't been done before, so you can't do it. People don't actually post that, but that is their point. "everyone with those mods makes 350 whp and can't run that time/ mph. You need to make at least 380 whp to run that time/ mph. How do you do it?" Just because it hasn't been done doesn't mean it can't be done. This is a very poor and weak arguement.

The absurdity of all these questions is that if he ran the times, and I believe he did, we all know how he did it. He is a great driver with a great tune. These are the two biggest variables. You and I can buy all the rest of his package anywhere. All this questioning and clamoring for proof is a waste. If you don't believe it, good for you.

I don't call a 1.772 60ft great and last I checked 60ft times mean oh so much in how well a car was driven. I think its great a IX with exhaust, mbc and tune ran 116 trap in the 1/4. It will only be a matter of time and a stock turbo IX will be in the mid ten's. I also think everything you read on the evolutionm should be accepted as truth.

Please someone host this vid for me so i can prove my times. Just went back to the track yesterday and did it again so i have proof. I wasnt going to bother with pics of timeslips i wanted to go back to the track and do it again so i could post a vid of the run so people can see what the car is capable of with these minimal mods and decent driving. I have the vid on my c drive so do i have to email to someone to host it

No, The 9 will do 107 at 7k in fourth. From personal experience and owners manual.

Maybe next weekend i will have it video taped so you can see it with your own eyes. By the way it was very cold outside. I dont analyze my time slips as closely as you or do i care to.
CONGRATS!!! Those are some awesome times.....Sounds like you did just fine to me.

Like him or not, I have to agree with Warrtalon on this one. Something sounds a little fishy. Something is missing from the equation. I suspect using a higher octane than 93 octane.

Whatever the variable may be, something is definitely not adding up with the comments hova has made.

Also, if he was shifting at 8,000rpms, he is not in the most beneficial rpm for power. Anybody who knows anything about drag racing knows the logic behind this point.
