I haven't got a chance to do it but going to try before the shootout if I have time. I need to get it done ASAP. Going back to the track the same way this weekend. I still have a few weeks before the shootout so im going to try

Thanks Dan! I have no doubt in my mind the car will go 8.8s. The car always hook ups the best at Summitt. I think this weekend 8.8s are possible. Weather will be hot but I'm still going to get out there. I'll keep everyone updated

 

Very nice runs man!

One question... Was the trap speed down because of weather and track conditions or you were running lower boost than your best trap of 167?

125 degrees don't help in order to make power but I am curious... Can't wait to see your car again when the weather is at 60-70 degrees! You should fly!!!

It amazing how fast these cars have become in the past 2-3 years!

 

Thanks Man!

We didnt change anything on the car that day. I just think with the 125 degree track temps and the 25mph head wind hurt the MPH. Best trap of the day was 161. I am going back this weekend i believe on Sunday to a different track. Weather is supposed to be 86 degrees as it says. Hopefully the temp stays thats way. It's brutal out there when its over 90 degrees lol.

These cars sure have. I remember back 3-4 years ago when i had my first Evo, running 11s was very quick lol.

 

how bout do a weight reduction like stm and see what it'll do?

I'm really thinking bout. I only race my evo at the track 1/4 mile car only its so tempting!!

 

Thats exactly what i plan to do to the car. It just takes some time and cash to do it. I am still on the stock rear brakes and stock E-brake etc. Need to do a small brake kit and that takes a decent amount of cash. I still have A LOT of weight to take out of the car. Cant do it all before the shootout.

Another weight factor is the 12 point cage and chute mount in the car. All that added 120 lbs to the car. I needed safety equipment thought. Now my is 100 percent legal. Most of the drag Evos out there arent. I am definetly going to give the car a big diet soon. Just need some spare time. Hopefully by the end of the season it will be half the weight less then i want it to be Cant imagine what this car will do 300lbs less. Cant wait for the shootout though, hoping to make my new PB there!

 

Get on it man!

 

getting the evo from evo dynamic this week. after seeing stm car times, my bby evo will go on a really big diet. got to call jenny craig now, I'm happy with my hp numbers

 

Hopefully I'll be of some competition for you in the next year.

Goodluck at the shootout Joey!

 

not me I'm getting out of this evo stuff, i see gtr with in next year

 

Thanks guys! Cant belive the shootout is less then 2 weeks away. Ill be there Wednesday night. Cant wait!

 

You got it!!

 

Ready for this weekend!!

 

Congratualations on the 8 second pass!

Is there another thread where you full spec is listed?

Do you use RS or GSR gearbox ratios with your 4.11 drive?

It must be some RPM in 4th gear to get 167mph

 

Best of luck this weekend Joey!

 

Thanks guys! I'll try to keep everyone updated
