Ok, I have a few more questions, I was talking to the person who will be tuning on my car and I had told him to read your thread and that I would like to set the rpms and 6400 and increase them as needed. He suggested that I may consider making more boost off of the two step. I have no experience with this so this is why I am asking you. Have you ever experimented with this?

I could give you a list of what parts are in my car to give you a general idea. I would rather pm them to you is this ok?

Most-Wanted, when you launched on the two step, did you have the throttle 100% to the floor?

I thought you have to in order to build boost? I've hit the 2 step but not holding the throttle to the floor and it just sat at 0. You have to load the engine by flooring it right?

Thank you for the recommendations on using our parts. I'm glad they have worked so well for so long for you. Next for you is an 8 second pass and I'm glad to be apart of that goal too.

There are many ways to reach a goal but I think what you have outlined is the most efficient way to get there and do it safely, also it lays a great base to continue on making more and more power.

Great post and advise.

Thanks David. Your parts have never let me down. I was just telling someone the other day that this is now my 4th evo and all have had BR parts. Never, not once, has one of your parts failed, not fit, or not perform. Always great results so its easy to recommend them. To me this is the fastest, most reliable way to get into the 11's and of course move on with easy additions to go even faster. I hope to take it to another level tomorrow night. Heat and humidity might be a factor, but we are going to try.

Good thread. Im ready to hit the track after your advice. Last year I was at 344 WHP on the dynojet with 319WTQ and ran a 12.5 at 112mph with a 1.783 60ft as my best. Now Im running meth with 30psi. 380WHP and 391WTQ. I was just hoping to break into the 11s with this but it sounds like I could be in the mid to low 11s. My 2step is set to 5800 though. I am also on the stock clutch. My 12.5 was with 30-35psi in the tires also. This time I will set them to 18 and see what happens.

Man that definitely sheds alot of light on what I can do to get some better times out of the car... Went to the track a few weeks ago and wasted 2 runs cause I had a glitch in the NLTS and it was messing me up big time... Hopefully I can do much better next time. Thanks for the lesson!

See what your thoughts are on this. Can't break into the 11's

Mods- Apexi air filter, buschur LICP, ETS UICP, Megan's O2 and DP, test pipe, B&B catback, ACT HD Street cluctch and streetlite flywheel, E85, 26psi Dynojet 395whp 382tq

Never played with tire pressure much just left them the same as DD pressure 35psi

2-step at 6k

R/T 0.145
60' 1.646
330 4.983
1/8 7.769
MPH 89.11
1000 10.108
1/4 12.076
MPH 115.36

Hopefully this file will attach. It's the log from my 12.07 run. My 1-2 shift was a lil slow but I think my others were pretty good. I had been trying out shifting early cause I had someone tell me I should try to shift at the peak of the HP wich was around 6200~6400 rpm

Back when I was shifting around 7k this was my best time but slower 60'

60' 1.742
330 5.108
1/8 7.882
mph 88.06
1000 10.242
1/4 12.203

yeah i just went to the track for the first time tonight.

first pass at 30psi in the tires got me 1.6 60ft 115mph.

after that i lowered the psi to 20 then 18 and the 60ft went down and down. the fourth and final run ended up being 2.ish spinning a lot.

i pretty much trapped 115 mph every time but i was just stuck at 12.4 ET.

it was a little embarrassing.

i dont have my wheels here with me so i was running my volk GTU's 18x9 245/40 azenis.

2-step is at 6500

need help.

Yeah I'll definitley lower my air pressure next time out. From what I got out of Most-wanted's tips would be lower tire pressure, higher 2-step and shift at higher rpm.

I'm not sure if that would get me to mid 11's but hopefully high 11's. Maybe the rest is in the tune.

Shifts should be done according to your dyno sheet, but generally fall somewhere around 7200-7400. Tire pressure is a biggie. Your mod list is all over the place, but the numbers look good. Just not sure why the et is low. Just practice the shifts and do these few things and let us know how it turns out.
