Recently ran a best of 8.54 at 83mph
(1.81) 60ft

at a completely different 1/8th mile track I ran a 8.7 at 77mph (1.80) <--- Sumer duck is slighty up hill, my ETs have always been a tenth or more higher there.

Evo is still bone stock

Damn dude, your Evo 0wn3d mine... there is seriously something wrong with my Evo. Even if my SAFC isn't optimally tuned, I should still be running something around those stock times...

Everyone needs a pocketlogger to go along with their safcs... You need to look at your timing curve to see if you are getting knock. Wherever you see your timing dip, you are getting knock. You can do all the fuel tuning/egt tuning you want, but you still dont really know where you are getting knock.

PocketLogger + PDA = $300+.

I think I will go to a dyno as soon as I can... AAM overcharges though, and I'm not sure if Curry's has enough experience with import tuning.

In the mean time, I might end up going to Agile Motorsports up in MD.

You can get a cheap PDA for under $50 on Ebay. The plain jane old palms work great.
