So this was like my 2nd time at the drag strip with the Evo.

it was about 70 degrees outside, and i have brand new (like 100 miles) Ventus V12 evo K110 245/40 R17. The front pressure was 32 rear pressure was 29.

im making around 400whp. and 400wtq or so. all of my mods are in my sig.

Launch control is set at 5500 rpm.

Here is my best times for the day

1.86 60ft.
5.17 330ft
7.92 1/8th mile (it was just an 1/8 mile track)

and my trap was consistent 89mph

now for the questions:

next time i go out what should i drop my tire pressure to?? how much should that help with my 60ft? i keep hearing 1.6 60ft. is doable on street tires and should i ride out 3rd gear in the 1/8th or shift early to get into power band or what?

and for an evo trapping around 7.92 @ 89mph in the 1/8th. what kind of times/traps should i expect in the quarter mile?

 

tire pressure 20 front and rear 2 step 6400. drive through the water box stop when you get just rite past it and do a burner. On your launch you may still spin but keep the rpms high until you grab and hit your shift point

 

what do u recommend me shifting at? im shifting at 7000rpm right now. should i go lower or higher? also im using NLTS.

 

don't know your power curves but try 7400-7500.

 

lift to shift into 2nd as best you can as it will come real fast and with your tephra mod dont lift going into 3rd. If you have to lift just lift a lttle bit and just tap the clutch

 

If you get wheel hop feather the gas or let off. you dont want to ruin that shep tcase haha

 

I've seen a similar set up from a friend and he's doing a consistent 7.6... not sure what his tire pressures are though.
