The first pass was a 1.57 and that felt good and the second was 1.60 which really bogged. So I know it will feel much better when I raise it up a little more. maybe 7600-7800

 

Nice work!

 

What about trying to launch at 6500 and let the clutch out slower? Cars that run bottom 9s going 150+ probably don't even launch that high.

 

We tried that the first two passes, but it didn't matter how slow you made the clutch go it would still bogg. Cars that run 150+ also have more power so thats the reason why they don't need lunch at that rpm. They also have less weight which makes it easier to lunch at a lower RPM. My boys S2000 ran 9.53 lunching at 8400 with his slicks on. There are a lot of factors when it comes to launching and that what we are working on. How much boost out of the line at what rpm higher or lower, what tires you have one but we will get there. Plus the slower I let the clutch go the more I'm burning it and that something I'm trying to prevent, but at the same time you have to burn the clutch no matter what so I know thats something i need to do either way.

 

what kind of tire did u run before the hoosier, and any times. I'm thinking about swathing tires. i have bfg drags now.

 

I rand some cheap tires but I ran 11.1 @ 130. with like 1.84 60 foots. I think they were Sumitomo. I don't buy good tires for the street seems like whatever I buy, I still only get like 10k.

 

do drive your evo with hoosier on the street at all? i don't drive my evo bout 30miles on month if that, just trying to see if i need to keep my other rims and tires?

 

Oh no I kept my stock rims for the Hoosiers and I have rota grid with some Archilles. I'm just like you. I have a 04 with 34k and carbon to carbon Tilton so I let it rest. LOL.

 

i just order me some today. 225 45 17 hoosier drag today. also just did hta86 ff turbo kit

big ups to fellow bby evo, I'm shooting of a 9.99 pass for ifo shreveport

 

I think you got more then a 9.99 with that setup.

 

went to ifo this past week end and ran 9.97 @146. first time out. couldn't launch the evo hard. i didn't want hurt tranny and tcase its all , just order new ones so can get some low 9 sec pass. car is full weight car. i love the tires
