1/8th mile time

Well last friday I took the evo out to the track, there are not timeslips so I dont know my 60'time, but a 8.4 that was my best time. My launch was good and it boosted right up, but I was spinning alot. I was running brand new falken Azenis 245/45/17 with 17x9 fnor1-c's. I guess its pretty decent with what I have done to the car (Buschur FMIC,LCIP,UICP,3"tbe,and intake). Just wondering what times I should be looking for on the 1/8th with a good 60' and run. I know this is not a very good time but its only the second time I have ran the car at the track. thanks guys any advice will be apreciated.

8.4 is what I ran when stock, so use that as your baseline. You really need to see the timeslip to know what you're doing right or wrong. Your launch may have felt good, but my guess is it was a 1.8-1.9, which isn't good.

If you have those mods without an MBC and tune, then it's a lot of money used unwisely. If you forgot to list an MBC and tune, then those mods should be good for a 7.7-7.9 on pump gas.

Yes I have a mbc set at 19psi (daily driver). The car also has a apexi power fc which Iam not very familar with so I dont mess with too much. I havent added anything to the car since I've owned it and the previous owner said it was tuned for the current setup. I have some HKS 272s that are about to be installed at which time I plan to either do the mail in tune or take it and have it tuned at Buschur's. What do you think about the mail in flashes?

Mail-in flashes are fine as well as email flashes.

Get rid of the Power FC - sell it - then get flashed for your mods.

19psi is too low. Being a daily driver doesn't mean you should run 19psi. The rest of the mods are being wasted if you're running stock boost levels. You should run 21-22psi on 93oct and get tuned accordingly. Buying modded Evos is very risky - you should get the car straightened out and hope it has no problems leftover from the previous owner.

Also I have gotten a 100% injector duty reading on it when I get to redline. This must mean I need bigger injectors correct???What size should I go with I plan on eventually upgrading to the FP green. thanks

No, not everybody gets AEM EMS. People get that if they have big turbos and making a lot of power. You basically have stock power, so you should not have an aftermarket ECU. You should just be using the stock ECU with a basic flash. You have absolutely no need for the Power FC.

What is telling you that you are at 100% IDC? You shouldn't be even CLOSE to 100%. No, you don't need injectors with those mods and certainly not at 19psi. You really should have gotten a stock Evo then modded it yourself. This could end up being a disaster. I recommend finding a top Evo shop and taking your Evo to them for inspection, diagnosis, and analysis.
