It was my first time drag racing last week and I realized I need to learn how to launch my Evo X .

Best ET was 12.536 @ 113.83mph with a 2.094 60ft. Also having to shift to 5th through the traps.

Earlier in the night, I cut a 1.789 60ft, but I missed 3rd gear on that run, and the cold weather killed traction on the stock tires after that.



Car set up:
Full weight Evo X
Stock suspension, wheels & tires @ 36psi
3/4 tank 93oct.
FPRed turbo
UR FMIC, pipes & O2 DP
Bushur quiet exhaust
AMS Tune & MBC @ 23PSI
ACT HDSS, stock flywheel

The car felt strong once I got off the line & I'm hoping to go high 11s with this setup before adding cams & E85.

Not horrible considering fist time out, definitely need to tune the nut behind the wheel though.

So how is the car tuned? Max Boost? Still a stock intercooler? Honestly I would have expected traps in the 116-120 range even if the short times were in the gutter.

Haha, you got that right.

Ultimate Racing FMIC. AMS tuned as my daily driver, so i didn't change anything at the track. Peak boost ~23psi. The trap speed is about consistant with the 361whp dyno, but yeah, 116-120 would be nice. Will probably see the upper end of that range with cams, and maybe mid 120s with E85 to reach my goal of a daily 10s car.
Shifting to 5th hurts a little too, and I'm not sure how much uping shift points, NLTS, etc will improve the trap.

It's not a bad time for that 60', but I would also have expected a little higher trap speed.

Yout did hit a nice 60' which would of brought your times into the 12.2 range, so a high 11 is possible with more practice.

Meth or e85 will do wonders for your traps!!

Its tough the 1st time out. At 23psi though this turbo is begging for more. I guess when you get the e85 tune you'll open her up.

Yeah, I was wondering if there was a way to calculate what my ET would have been for the 1.789 60'. I've read that each 0.1 improvement in the 60' is good for 0.2 at the end of the 1/4. Is that true for our cars? If so, that means I could have shaved 0.6 off? (2.094-1.789)*2
