10.6 at SIR in Tucson AZ

The final stage to our customer's EVO was to take it to the drag strip and prove that it could make a decent time. Keep in mind, this is a street driven car, no cage, harnesses, light weight special parts, etc. The goal was to make a powerful EVO that was very streetable and respectable at the track. It was exciting for is since this was one of our first BIG Evo builds. Since we do not have a cage in this EVO we were not able to make additional passes after breaking the 11.50 mark due to safety reasons. We knew this ahead of time and were able to play with the 1/8th mile a bit. People started to look at us like we were weird running a 11.9 @78 mph, lol. In the end our best time was a 10.66 @132 mph. We're happy with the results, as is the customer. We sell every item found on this spec sheet:

2006 EVO MR
Stock body, no CF or crazy light weight items (breaks, rims, fenders, hood, trunk, etc) 3500 on the scale at the track
Magnus 2.0L Longblock
67P Trim turbo kit
1000cc PTE injectors
AEM EMS, tuned in house

Track Specs:
88 degrees
3000 ft elevation
SIR in Tucson

All runs were done on 100% turbo, no nitrous. Although the car has nitrous too. We're not out to prove we are the fastest(which we are not). We're just here to meet our customer's wants and desires. Special thanks to our video contributors Ryan and Gabe and to PJ for the jacket




here is the video

Big Congrats on the track results!

Nice build-up

Care to share what cams if any and what clutch you guys run.

Hope to be about the same et range once we get the built 2.0l shortblock back in next week!

I'm assuming you speak from experience

Does that triple disc bite REALLY hard

I think i'll run an ACT HD w/ a 6 puck sprung until i experience drive-train fatalities.

At that point i'll see what to upgrade.

How fast do you think it'll go in this trim?

First time out on the 2nd Launch we blew up the Stocker...pretty good too

We put in a Stage 3 Shep Transfer Case and no issues so far.

Triple was more like the stock clutch and has really smooth engagement if your clutch is good you should be ok for now.

No need to upgrade the TC. The factory one is stout. Plus you guys have the Helical in your being a 06.

Ive cut 1.4 60fts and ran over 500 launches at the track with no problems

ifarted2 - normally this is correct, but our car seemed to have some gremlins from the factory. We swapped out our TC after the back lash was found to be out of factory spec and past the point of repair. New R/P were needed, we figured toss in a quaife and REM R/P and have zero issues down the road. Granted, this was a Mexico (not New Mexico) MR. There were quite a few things on it that left us scratching our heads (missing parts mainly). I guess everyone has different luck. I think this is the fastest EVO in Mexico now, granted this is just a guess.

500 passes, that means you've gone down the drag strip 5 times every weekend for the past 2 years (104 weeks) solid. Not even taking a break for holidays. You're an animal (sarcasism filled, no harm intended).

WOW sorry to hear about all that drama ......i'm sure it was a big surprise to find parts missing and tolerances out of spec

Thanks for clearing that up as i too was under the impression that our 06's had a little bit more beef to hold up to launches.

Reason i ? so much about clutch selection is that on my prior 03 Cobra's it was a task getting 4000 lbs off the line smoothly w/o shocking the drivetrain too much.

I ran a Centerforce DFX clutch w/ a 6 puck sprung hub on DR's and was able to get the car to 60 in the 1.5x's w/ a fairly stock suspension.

Hope the EVO can do something similar

Mind PMing me the details on what something like that would run?

Thanks
