2nd time to the running at the track

dont have much time to post, so here it is this was my 2nd time at the track and my 3rd pass ever

r/t .484
60' 1.79
330 5.29
1/8 8.19
mph 81.99
1000 10.678
1/4 12.75
mph 108.72

so let me what ya think and how to imporve...launch was between 5k and 5.5k

mods are injen intake w/ uicp
Hallman MBC-21.5lbs
megan racing down pipe
Test pipe
HKS 3' cat-back
DYNO FLASH

I was dynoed without the downpipe and a highflow cat instead of the test pipe

any advice or opion is welcome

Definatly a great pass for your only 3rd time down the track. From the slip it looks like your 1-3 shifts could use improvement as your 1/8 mile trap and time is a little off. But with practive you will easily be deep into the 12's....

Congrats on the time with the stock clutch with almost 60k!!!

I would get retuned for the DP and Test Pipe, it will be better for your times and the car. Great run for your 2nd time. Keep it up

Your 8th mph is pretty low.. With better driving you should be able to do 12.5-12.4

Lets get Al's opinion on this. I dont think that the tune would change enough to warrent another tune. I would simply wait until you have more mods on the car and then get another tune to make the most out of your money and time.

No need for a retune at this juncture. The MPH is on par with the mods, although the dyno numbers are a bit inflated as I had expected. With some improved driving, you can hit a 12.5 pretty easily. the good thing is the car appears to be running very well.

I was there and personally was very impressed when Steve here ran a 12.7 on his third pass EVER. Not just in his EVO but 3rd pass ever on a drag strip period. Now that the new clutch is in practice should yeild consistent mid-12 passes. Good work and good luck on improvement. You'll have to get some cams this spring and rip off some low 12s hopefully.
