GTKage's EVO IX updated times
Mar 10, 2006, 05:59 AM

wanted to ask, would Evo IX's with the 5 speed eventually have to shift into 5th after a cretain whp since they are already almost bouncing of the rev limiter due to the shorter gear ratios? Would it mean that 03-05 would be capable of trapping higher due to the longer gearing?

03-05 5 speed is better for drag racing
the Evo IX trans is best suited for road racing IMO.
it s is possible to run 11.9 with the 4th gear with the IX's but anything faster u ll have to shift into 5th, and in that case the IX MR is better off because that gear is shorter than the 5speed's 5th gear, therefor giving it better acceleration.

Yes, IXs will be at the same disadvantage as MRs.
Kage, your personal preference is fine - I wasn't talking about that. I just didn't want people to think what Scott says was true for every tuner. Al spend a ton of time learning how NOT to fry the ECU with Techtom before he started providing the service to customers. If people would rather pay the $650 minimum for the EcuTek license, then that's their prerogative. Maybe you can go as fast with your EcuTek as I did without any flash on my VIII.

My source of info is reliable that the techtom equipment for IX's have rendered a many IX ECU's useless. The cost for a replacement ECU is in the realm of $865 from the dealer.

It doesn't matter if you mentioned Al or not, because I didn't even say that you were talking about Al. I said that when Al uses Techtom for his IX flashes, it is not unreliable and that he doesn't fry ECUs. That is all.
