First time out this season and went 12.3
Just the like the title says, this was my first time out the season and thats the best run i could muster. I know theres alot of guys on here that can pick apart a time slip and tell me what im doin wrong because my trap speed seems kinda low to me.
R/T..... .561
60...... 1.753
330.... 5.083
1/8..... 7.870
MPH... 87.58
1000.. 10.298
1/4..... 12.359
MPH.... 108.56
A buddy of mine went 12.5 with a faster 60 and same trap in his evo 8 with less mods. Thats why i think my trap should have been a little faster.
Current Mods:
3'TBE
Cone filter
Hallman pro rx MBC
GSC S1's
Exedy twin Disk
Ebay FMIC
Walbro 255
AMS mail in tune.
Going to get a custom tune this weekend hopefully so maybe after that i can bust some 11's on the stock turbo.

What do you mean it held right at 21 on 93oct? Octane has nothing to do with a boost leak test - the car isn't even running when you do the test. Did you actually do a boost leak test, or are you saying your boost gauge held steady? You have to physically do a boost leak test to verify no leaks. If you actually did that, then good job, but the 93oct part is not relevant.
You definitely are missing mph, because a 12.3 @ 108.5 would require an awesome 60' with some NASTY shifting. Your driving was not bad at all, but with those splits, I would expect something closer to 111. I actually ran a 12.30 @ 107.99 on a 1.72 60', but I'm at high altitude and have to shift to 5th at the 1000' mark, so my traps get killed.
When you did the logs that showed knock in 4th, were those drag runs, or just straight 4th gear pulls? It's important to bang the gears 1-2-3-4 when testing for drag knock, because the conditions are different than doing a straight pull. If you're getting a custom flash anyway, then I wouldn't worry about it for now.

lol I was just saying that on the way home it held at that on the way home. No im not a complete retard i know how to do a boost leak test and i know 93 octane has nothing to do with it i was just throwing that info out there. When i did a 3rd to 4th gear log i got 14 counts of knock when i shifted gradually going down to redline in 4th(think its because i shifter pretty hard into 4th but i do that at the drag trip so yeah) and to be honest this was probaly one of the cleanest runs ive ever pulled off in this ca which kind of makes me sad. I was hoping for atleast 110 traps.

Yes, your trap should be at least 115...even 110 would be highly disappointing, but maybe it's that Ebay FMIC.

^ Yeah brandon was the guy that ran the 12.5 at the same speed and me and him normally are not even close. 8Thwonder, yall goin to topspeed?
Warrtalon, please stop posting in my thread, lol. You make no sense, and all you ever do is try and make others look stupid. I have a rubber coupling that i made back in the dsm days using the page on Vfaq.com that clamps on to the turbo and with a air compressor that you clip the hose on to the coupling and run the pressure up to check for leaks. I shouldnt have to explain to you what kind of tools i have to check for leaks and so on and so forth so leave it at that. As far as 14 counts of knock it was one pull and every other time i get less then 5. Once again until you have some actuall helpful info or response other than trying to make me sound like a douche bag i would appreciate if you didnt contribute, thanks.
Thanks for all the other replies
