Assuming your car is around 3450 with you in it, you could be around 375 HP at the crank and 12.2 @ 112 mph quarter miles should be possible with better 1.7x short times and fast shifting.

hellcat trapped 114-115 and he put down 37Xwhp on a mustang dyno so your going to be in the lower 300's

Yeah the HP calculator is a Crank HP estimate. With 11.85 @ 115 being around 410 Crank HP that is 10-15% higher than whp range on a higher reading dyno so it seems about right.

His 375 Crank HP would be around the 335-340 whp range on a similar reading dyno. All rough estimates of course.

Try lowering the tire pressures into the 25-30 psi range and if you are still spinning the tires you can launch with lower boost on the 2 step. If I run 12-15 psi boost at 6k rpm on the 2 step, my tires spin like mad so there is a happy balance.

how do i lower my 2 step boost. does it have to do with the timing map? do i lower or raise the timing? i was spinning through 1st on some of my runs. on others i was bogging pretty bad

I was there in a GG IX MR...saw both of you guys...good to see a lot of evos out on a wednesday!! I am still on stock clutch (probably 20 passes on it..with TBE, and MBC (no tune)), only ran 2 times because they were soooooo slow getting people to run. Ran 12.8 both times, best is 12.7 at 109.

Lower your tire pressure to around 23psi on Advans and your two-step should be set at 5750 on stock clutch.

If you bog, raise two-step to 6k, still bog, raise tire pressure.
If you spin, lower the two-step and keep tire pressure where it is, still spin, lower the tire pressure.

You should be able to cut a 1.7 60' relatively "easily". You have yourself a 12.0 car my friend.
