I dont usually post on the boards much, but I figured I would post about this. Anyhow, last night I took my 06 SE to the track, Maple Grove Raceway (3 minutes from house ). I ran some great times. My first pass ever with the car was 13.0@106 with a 1.94 '60, really launching it easy. My next 2 passes were about the same. On the 4th pass I figured id try and launch a little harder and shift a little higher, that pass nedded me a 12.9@107. The following pass I ran another 13.0. This is my daily driver and I didnt really want to rag on it that hard, but I know I could easily get a 12.8@108 mph out of it with a harder launch and shifting higher/faster. The only mods are a helix tbe and a K&N panel, otherwise it's stock.. I cant wait to see what it runs with a LICP, forge mbc, fuel pump and flash! I was really happy that I got into the 12's on a basically stock car, but furthermore I thought the mph was awesome. Anyhow I figured I'd share.. I have video and will post it as soon as I get it compressed to a reasonable size.

Thanks!

shouldn't you be getting faster times?

 

For only a TBE and K&N?? I could get into the 12.8's but I didn't care to launch the car that hard, my mph is good for 12.6's with a good launch.

 

yeah the power is right on target for a TBE without a flash, good job

 

how much whp?

 

Never had it on the dyno, but id imagine its around 260 or so.

 

Dude-terrific driving! Nice post; mine is stock too (...nice to hear how fast these Evo's are.)

First time at the track last night!

 

completly stock in my 05 rs i ran 13.1 @105
i expect better from a modded ix
but if you werent really beatingon it you have a few more mph in her and that would probably impress me

 

really good times..one day ill get to take mine to the track

 

congratz man ! its excellent, with a flash i think you would be able to pull mid 12s all day !

 

important thing you beat that loud phat car on the other lane.

 

It was good driving for his first time, but there is plenty of room for improvement, plus just a TBE and filter isn't much for mods. This belongs in the drag racing forum

 

Thats good times. The best i pulled is a 12.7 @ 110mph. I have more mods AND flash.

 

No, that's not terrific driving - it's poor driving actually. However, he said he wasn't trying to rag it out. I personally don't understand why anyone would bother going to the drag strip if they're only going to half-*** it, but maybe that's just me. You only get 3-4 runs - might as well give it all you got, otherwise the times will be sub-par.

The good thing is he has decent traps. Full TBE is not really "nearly stock," though, because a tbe/mbc/flash can make 330-350whp and run low 12s/high 11s. The mbc and flash are just another few hundred dollars while the TBE was $600-800, so in the end, it's a good test case for us to use to show noobs that doing just a TBE is not wise and going to the strip without going all out is not wise. Toss an MBC and flash on this, and it will be much faster.
