Yah man, it wasnt a good idea putting it on afterwards...throw the stocker back on and if you need a K&N drop in, I have a 3 week old one. If you had a better 60 your times would be alot better but the trap shows something is up...ie: intake

60'...2.133
330...6.030
1/8...9.291@ 75.50
1000...12.089
1/4...14.470@94.88 mph.

Take a look at the back 1/8. You gained almost 25 mph and that's really good. This tells me something bad is happening during the first 1/8 of the race.

My guess is that you're bogging bad at the launch. This would account for your bad 60'. If you bog out, then it's going to take you a while to build psi again and get going.

My suggestion would be to take it very easy on the launch. Just do a normal take off, but perhaps a tad quicker if possible. It should improve your 60' a bit, but more importantly you won't bog and loose all your built up boost.

Keep us posted!

Yes you definitely need to learn how to slip the clutch when launching. And quick shifting will help too. Your trap speeds are horrible as well. Hell when my saturn sc2 was nearly stock it ran a 15.2. Something is either wrong with your car or you must be a very bad driver. Please let us know what you are doing so mayeb we can possibly help.

your math is a little off. He didn't even gain 20mph, big difference.

It is probably a combination of horrible launching and slow shifting.

That can be true. An easy test is to put some 103 unleaded or preferably a 110 on better leaded cocktail in and see if the trap speeds come up. They should a fair amoutnt. If they do you'll know your running lean and pulling timing. Note: Remember only use as much octane as necessary to not ping or detonate. Lower octane burns hotter and faster. To much octane (without mods and boost raised) can run to cool and not make max power.

Nice car,

I was there last night with the Red Evo. I think it's mostly due to your launch. I was not pulling any timing at all. Still my stock clutch was not happy at all. 12.9@110 on pump gas and full weight.

I have a TBE with HF cat, intake, MBC and fuel pump.

You dont pull timing unless you increase boost with no tune.

yea maybe next time ill put in some c10 and see how it goes, or perhaps just get reflashed for the intake

i did however notice during one run that my water temp actually dropped which kind of puzzled me, its the stock sensor so maybe running it to redline a bunch of times messed it up or something.

and yes, i should have just tried to take an easy launch to see if my traps improved instead of trying to launch good.. o well, ill go back up sometime soon to see if I improve. thanks for the replies

Bad combo of mods IMO.

I wonder what flash could improve on the intake.. I wouldn't worry about it for now and leave it as is until you put in an exhaust. Having the stock water sensor shouldn't matter at all. It is weird to see the water temp drop, depending on how much I might wonder if there is air in your system.

usually at normal temp the indicator is pretty much lined up w/the water singnal thingy (perhaps SLIGHTLY lower).. after my 2nd run it dropped to about 1/4 of the way up

GREAT.... now all over mustang and srt forums i can see the title now


modded evos ONLY run 14s

lol jk

haha, well my driving leaves nothing to be desired..

however, I'm going to keep the Intake on, pick myself up a MBC , walbro, and tbe then get reflashed

I am not liking most of these answers. There is a MAJOR, MAJOR problem with this car, and it has NOTHING to do with the driving. Yes, the 60' sucks, yes the shifting MAY be slow, but none of that would cause a 94mph trap speed.

Hmm, wait, I was just about to help until I saw you say twice that you knew installing the $400 intake _AFTER_ your tune was bad, that you felt it lose power _AFTER_ installing the intake, and that you are now going to KEEP the intake on. No help is deserved here, but I'll give you one hint (the intake isn't half the problem).
