i dont know alot about the evo's yet, but im learning.. although with that power i would think you would hit high 12's.. what was your 60' time, trap speed, conditions, etc..

i ran 13.4 with a stock IX and bogged on the launch (2 step isn't set high enough from factory)

im thinkin you should be running a little faster then 13.4. how was your driving? did u mess up on anything?

theres a plug behind the clutch u can unplug to disable the 2step so you can launch higher

That's terrible for the mods and dyno power. 13.4 is what your car can run stock. 315whp is good for low 12s. Check my sig for reference - 300whp = 12.26 on stg1 mods. That's what you can do if you get some more practice. Only one run is worthless, so don't feel bad. You need to get 5-6 runs in order to practice your launch, optimize your shift points, and get a perfect clean run. You don't want to live up to your signature.

On a side note, this is another reminder that dyno numbers don't mean much.

just practice im sure you'll be surprised at how much better your times will get once you get the right shifting points and a quick precise shift.

i managed to run a 12.8 on my stock evo IX with a drop in filter
