i am completly stock it was a really hot/ humid day just wantted a benchmark before i mod her

i launched at 3400 (didnt want to launch control) and bogged a little and shifted at 6200-6800

justed wantted to know if i am below or around the stock times??

 

below. Need to use lauch control to get your 60' times down. Shift past 7k

 

yea, usual stock 8;s will run around low-mid 13's, but if it was hot, no launch control, and low shift points, that explains it....

 

Just keep practicing, you'll get it

 

if you want to get decent times u HAVE to launch off the 2step and rev it out more. With only an exhaust i was able to get a 1.72 60ft and a 13.01@103. But as long as you had a good time its all good.

 

You know you are nowhere near stock times if you didn't even launch. that's the most important factor of drag racing. If you don't launch, then there's no reason to waste your money at the drag strip. Stock Evos are a second quicker and also faster - your results are embarrassingly low.

 

embarrassing indeed

 

Don't worry... for your first trip to the track, there's nothing wrong with not breaking any records. My first trip to the track, my best run was a 14.3.

Don't be embarrassed at all.... there's nothing wrong with easing into it. Some of us daily drive our Evo's, and to us, it's not worth it at all to smoke a clutch for a "respectable" run at the track. If you're new to racing your Evo, which I was too, I'm still not ready to start using the 2-step, and slipping the clutch from 7600rpms!

 

I've been daily driving my Evo for 4 years, and my first run was a 13.17 @ 103.89 in stock form. I didn't wear out my stock clutch until I was running 12.2s with a cat-back and did 12 straight 12.2-12.3 runs when winning a bracket competition. He's far from that and so are you. No reason to go if you don't launch it - you learn nothing. You don't smoke the clutch by doing a normal launch - you smoke it by trying to launch from too low of an rpm.

The 2-step is not set at 7600 - no one slips the stock clutch from there, and most people don't do that with ANY clutch.

 

well said Warrtalon. If you make it to Orlando I like you to take my car down the run way.

 

03-04 evos never had a two-step from the factory

 

They did, but it was set to ~7900rpm, which was higher than the primary rev limiter, so no one knew.

 

get out?^ i didn't know that... I assume i can then get it adjusted to a more realistic rpm with ecuflash/evoscan?

 

Of course - all USDM Evos can. It's not specific to 05-06s.

 

Umm...why would mitsu put a 2 step that was set higher then the rev limiter?? Doesnt make any sense...
