Nothing wrong with a road tune, but Devo is not one of the major Evo tuners. You've spent a lot of money on mods you don't need instead of focusing on what you do need. Learn to drive, and you'll see a drastic improvement.

I NEED HELP

My mods are as follows AMS FMIC, SS Clutch Line, Walbro Fuel Pump, Tein S tech, Defi Bf series gauges, AMS LICP, Injen UPPER Pipe with intake, Forge Unos MBC, APS 3.0 High Output exhaust, APS Dual Vent Blow off valve. Custom Road tune from Devo tuning.

Definitely you need more practice. What's your 2-step set at? If it is 5500rpm that's no good... I launced my car correctly with 5500rpm and it bogged... Change it to 5800rpm... In 4 passes i went from 2.1sec 60ft to 1.7sec... Practice...

It also seems that your gear changes are slow... I logged mine and they were SLOW, but i did 330ft 5sec flat with 87mph... Have you ever dynoed your car? It seems for 25psi of boost you are underpowered...

Practice and learn your car! try to be more involved in the tuning and setup... Good times don't come by themselves!

I'm not trying to be an a$$ but start looking at your shifting as the problem. If that doesn't improve your times then start looking at the car. Just like alot of others have already said practice,practice and more practice.

Like its been said PRACTICE!. With a 1.7 60 ft and some quick shifting you will be very happy with your times. good luck and practice.

I have to work on my launches too. How do you change the 2 step? What's the difference between sidestepping the clutch and dropping the clutch? Stupid newbies!
