Stock Evo 9 - First time at the Drags
hey guys,
Went the drags tonight and ran two bad 14.5 and 14.6 sec runs. I was launching by slipping the clutch from about 3500 rpm. So my third time I dialed in at 14.00 and launched from the rev limiter and got:
R/T .508
60' 2.081
330' 5.75
1/8 8.857
mph 77.67
1000' 11.562
1/4 13.84
mph 99.15
My launching needs to improve a lil to bring down my 60' time. I didnt get a chance to ran again because I beat my dial in time.

wow I run a 14.09 at 105 stock at 4500 feet above sea level they dont provide slips here in el paso this place sucks for drag racing and the track sucks but its the only one there is for hours so im stuck here. You should disconnect the rev limiter!!! that helped me out

Ok well do you really think that is necessary? I know alot of stock 9s with rookie drivers running 13.8-14.2. I really believe that this is driver error and I will be going back in a couple of weeks to try again.

Your ET is driver error, but your MPH is power error. Doing a pressure test is not a big undertaking. You don't have to do it, but even if you drove perfectly, you aren't going to get a very good time with a 100mph trap speed. Again, that is average-to-slow for a stock 03/04 Evo, which have about 40 less whp.

I think you guys are treating my run as if I excuted it perfectly. I may have bounced off the redline in third or shifted to slow. Hell I dunno, a friend ran a stock 9 and traped 102 with a 13.8 as well and a 2.0 60 ft so I dont think im that off. I appreciate you guys thoughts and hope to improve my time in a couple of weeks.
