great weekend new setup(11.0@123)
No, that's only 24mph up top, which is about like the stock turbo. However, it's obvious to me this is a 10-sec car that can do closer to 30mph up top, but the gearing is messing him up. I don't think he should ride out 4th to the end. I think he should shift to 5th well before 4th runs out, and then let 5th rip *** through the traps...
Additionally, 544whp is good for 130+ mph traps, and I think that's the power he's really making, but the traps are getting skewed by the 6spd gearing.
Hmm, no, not really. This is what you see 50-trims and 20Gs trapping with 11.1-11.3s with good driving. You also see lots of 10.9s @ 128-129 - just browse through the threads here like the guy who hit 10.9 on the 20G-LT, and people proclaimed him as a GREAT driver (1.6 60' with nice shifting). It is very rare to see someone hit a 10.9 with a 123-124. To say a 10 should be in a 124 with better driving really does not make sense, not to mention he said he hit 123 on this run, not 124. Remember that he's on street tires, not drag tires, so he's surely spinning madly out of the hole.

Try it, say GOOD JOB.
If he hit 11.0 his first time out, whats not to say he could belt out a 10.9 @ 124 with a better launch. 124 MPH for a GT35R could mean lower boost, like only 26PSI with the meth to keep the stock bottom end happy, maybe if he ups it to 28-30PSI, he would get his ET's even lower.
but 11.0 @ 124 right after a tune shows what a good accomplishment with just a bolt on turbo upgrade and a flash.
I did not try to belittle anyone at all. I have given props, and I'm trying to help him figure out what is holding him back. Sean also told him it's time to get rid of the 6spd. Notice I even said that to me this is already a 10-sec car, because I can tell that he's not able to put the full power potential down during the run. I am not surprised that you have gone off the deep end without actually read what I have written. GOOD JOB! (happy?)
YOu don't understand. he's not hitting 11.0 @ 123 due to cutting a 1.50 60' with lightning-fast shifts. He's hitting 11.0 @ 123, because the gearing is messing him up, and this is more like a 128-130mph run that didn't materialize on the top-end and just happened to end up as an 11.0 instead of 10.9. You really just are not getting the point here. You don't realize this car is making 540+whp and can trap over 130 EASILY.
Since when is a GT35R a bolt-on??? He has meth, cams, and all the supporting mods needed plus a flash. It's very well put together, but you act like this is a mildly-modded IX with a bolt-on 20g. It's not, and it has more in it than you see here. You can revel in mediocrity all you want, but I think yosolo can go much further WITH NO CHANGE IN POWER. I believe Sean does, too...

Gone off the deep end? Have you read your posts sir? You are by far and large the most abrasive person on this site. You have even gone so far as to impersonate a mod and threaten banning to someone who aggravated you; remember that? You have gone off the deep end way more then all other accounts. Calm down and have a conversation please.
With a 35R (That silly thing just BOLTS ON doesn't it, how else did you expect it to be installed?) and the ability to make power to 8700 and above (I believe Sean shifts his 35R 03 Evo here still on the stock bottom end with only 272's, no engine work/head work other then that) he may be able to wring out the gears more then shifting at 7500-8000. Obviously a 5 speed would help especially with the Evo 8 4-5 gear sets, but man, it can’t hurt 7-8 mph. He also said he is spinning off the line, room for improvement. Hitting an 11.0 first time out he can hit a 10.9, even you must admit that.
People make the 6speed tranny into a cancer like object for the Evo. This is a gross exaggeration and I don’t care if you broke your 4th gear, there are FAR more 5speed issues then 6th. You above all know that racing and as often as you do breaks things, idk which car. The 4th may be a weaker gear but damn how many synchro issues are there with the 5 speed? The entire FQ line carries the 6speed exclusively; there is a reason for it.
I do agree that the 5 speed is better but I don’t believe that the 6speed is crippling MPH just as you say.
I understand he is shifting to 5th and stealing some time. You yourself stated that dyno numbers mean nothing, and traps tell the story. We all remember that massively high Dyno reading from that tuning shop in Brooklyn only to get 113MPH traps. Could it be possible that the Dyno used also reads a little high?
You are SOOOO Defensive with every post you make, and you don’t even attempt to hide it. Please calm down.
Grow up, not every post is a battle.
Back on topic, what RPM are you shifting at?

Take it easy guys, that was the first and only full pass in a car that was just tuned for the first time the day before.
Nobody including myself has the full picture of what is going on. It is a 6 spd, it is making that power back to back, and he is shifting into 5th.
It should be going back out to the track shortly and then we will see.
Out of curiosity what is the quickest/fastest reflashed evo as of right now, i really don't follow that stuff.

Sorry Sean, just giving props to the 1st time out.
I believe Mike1023 has the fastest pump gas flash, 11.0 @ 120MPH, he has a 2004 evo with 300 pounds of lightening done. He runs 28PSI and 8 degrees of timing advance at most. He has trapped at 122MPH but slower ET.
I am sure there is a 10 sec flash somewhere.
