I actually shift pretty fast! The only slow shifting i have is from 1st to 2nd bc if i shift too fast it will grind and it wont go in, so i have to let the revs drop for a second and then put it in, the other gears i shift very fast

Well, the 1-2 is the most important shift. Doing it slowly and letting the revs drop would just absolutely destroy your times and could affect your 60' depending on how/when you make the 1-2 shift.

get a flash fool...your car is probably running like peanuts...if anything get a mail in...don't waste your time trying to break records on a ecu thats probably correcting the hell out of itself rendering your car ...average.

60's are appauling...u gotta practice launching on back roads 1st ...harder to learn at track...especially when u have a set amount of time to get your rpms up focus and not dump and bog your launch...practice practice practice...let us know when you get tuned.

Then adjust your clutch rod OUT so that your clutch fully disengages when you try to shift at 7k. Follow the how-to on Evomoto.com.

WHOA!! you are not exaggerating, you might have the slowest evo in the whole southeast. But with a GOOD driver, based on these runs you should be trapping 106-107. Don't expect too much more without cams. You should try to let someone else drive the car, just a pass or 2 to see what the car can do. Even with that 60ft, you should be trapping 105, stop granny shiftin'.

Granny shifting is when you take a slight pause in neutral between gears when shifting. So instead of going smoothly from 2nd to 3rd, you pull out of 2nd, stop for a moment in neutral along the way, then go into 3rd, and let the clutch out again. Very slow.

Well i went back and i did trap 106 almost 107 but did not get into the 12's due to timing being pulled in 3rd and 4th on the last pass, heres the update https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=195367

Me getting beat by an STI? LOL!! I dont think that was my car bc i have NEVER lost to an STI, not even close even with my 03. I destroyed a white sti w/ upgraded fmic, utec, mbc, catless tbe, uppipe, intake and bov. I put 2 cars on him by the end of 4th . So i think you got me mixed up with someone else
