mid 14 second evo
so it was my first run(s) at the track w/my evo.. i will tell you now that i suck at launching...
i hit the 2 step, and quickly release the clutch.. it feels like im rippin off the line like a banshee, but my 60' will tell you otherwise.. here's my BEST run
60'...2.133
330...6.030
1/8...9.291@ 75.50
1000...12.089
1/4...14.470@94.88 mph.
i also dont think my car is pullin too hard, feels like pulled timing but i dont see how that might be considering its basically stock.
i have the injen intake on it (put on after the mail in flash, which is a no-no)
other than that, im at stock boost. no boost leaks or anything like that
so is it just ****ty driving?

On the 2 step you have to take out some of the slack in the pedel, then walk it back. Since you are on the stock clutch - you still have the restrictor line. You will not beable to just let it go, that will make the clutch spin.
What gear are you in at the end of the race? (Should be top of 4th)
You should be shifting at ~7k, anything past that is past the turbos effective range. And you have to shift very fast.
Also, how where you setup to race? I.E. full tank of gas? Tire pressure? Full weight? What oct did you use? Try 100/104 unleaded. Get to the track on E, and fill up with 3 gals of 100. Dont mess with your boost, but that will help not pull timing.
What was the weather like - temp wise?

i had a little over 1/4 of a tank (93), and i do shift as fast as i can. i didnt adjust tire pressure, and it was full weight.. weather was prob 75 degrees or so, low humidity

Put the stock intake back on without any changes and see what happens. Your trap speeds are pretty low.
If you don't want to ditch the intake get a cable and log your run with EVOScan. I'd be willing to be it's pulling timing due to the intake.

that was my assumption... it felt like it was pulling a bit better w/the stock box.. i just thought it was my imagination when i put the intake on, that it was a tad slower

The intake will mess up your tune - but you already know that. It could cause you to run leaner, and that will pull timing. Or put you in a "limp mode" which may explain you low traps.
Just get a K&N drop-in, and you should be good to go. But a TBE would really help you out.

If you do go back to the stock box.. try to find a Works panel filter. The filter surface is much larger than the k&n. I'm not sure if Works has these in stock or not -- last I checked they were hard to get.

If the 60 foot feels good but is coming up 2.1 make sure you're not slipping the clutch too much, my first pass out at the track I did the same deal, 2.1 60 foot but it felt good until I saw the tach sitting at 6k and then grab.
