Good Job Nick!! You need to let me know if you are going out this weekend. I'll look for it on the other forum.

Great job and nice numbers. I know that RT is important, but so is finding out about the equipment without worrying about RT. I know that you'll get that easily!!

The car is looking great. Talk to ya later

I definetly like the car, but doesn't it seem a little too slow for the mods that are listed. I know people who get those times with the stock turbo, AFC, MBC and boost control. I am definetly not ******* the car, I LOVE the looks of it, it just seems a little to slow for all of those mods.

I think Dr. Evo was faster in trap speed on the same track - no????

Did WOO BOOS - (Ben) ever get to the track ?

Designman - you should be at least 118 mph and low 12's with that set up on 93 octane - something is amiss

Its the MPH that tells the hp story - you can take off as easy as you want the mph stays within one or two mph no matter how you launch - - - I have stock evos that run almost that mph with a cat back and a boost controller

im not sure... maybe my car is just slow, **** it, how often do you see anyone jump on the line with the same SHOW setup to run? I got no shame, i do this **** for me...hehehe... at least i'll be able to hang with all you fast cars and look decent at the same time

but not to worry, once we install the damn injectors and fuel rail... turn up the boost and get it tuned on the dyno, im pretty sure it will do better then...

Yup that is what I was talking about Al, I was looking at the Trap.
I too really don't care for the quarter mile time. Trap says how much power you have, which relates to street races. Most of the races I get into unfortunately not off the line, but on the run.

yea i kinda agree but my point of view is a little different being we never utilized 1/2 the **** i have and the car was tuned on the way there u know? Didn't even use the Intercooler chiller which i think would probably knock a few 10ths off my time.

Im pretty sure what made it bad was the 60' 1.8.... if i can get it down to 1.4 which shouldnt be hard but still scared to break...

i should drop to like 1.4 or something... i think thats how it works right? every 10th in the 60' is equal to 1 10th off the qtr?

figure my 1st 60 was 2.2.......@ 13.1
then my next 60 was 1.8-----@12.6

These are some great times when you figure that you "Just showed up" Wait until you make a true effort and prep the car for it's runs and use all of it's potential!!! Low 12's will be easy.

I also understand why you are taking it easy on the launch. No need to destroy the equipment on fun-runs.

I need to get out there and watch your runs. If you want, let me know when your going and I can bring my camera.!!!

Keep up the good work!!!!
