Evo X Drag Times list

Here's the thing. I build this exact combo over and over again for customers. There's no exotic parts and super blahblahblah... Over the past few months I've been concentrating on setting the car up to consistently lay down the power and use it at the track instead of over-compensating the car with a big dumb dynosheet.
I'm still on a stock rear diff, stock transmission, stock t-case, and stock intake manifold, with a stock 3-bar map sensor at 29psi. My car remains full interior and my air conditioning is cold as $hit. I've been focused on honing my skill behind the wheel of this machine instead of cranking up boost to kingdom come. This is the same advice we share with our clients---LEARN HOW TO DRIVE. When guys ask me for more horsepower, I ask them for a slip first. Sounds cocky, but with me--you have to earn your horsepower. Sometimes guys need your help to save them from themselves,,lol. This has always been my program and as you can see by the list for 2014 it works.
Now that I'm comfortable behind the wheel, I think I'll try the stock sleeves at 35psi on this same 6262 and work my et down a bit lower. I found some errors in my driving even going 10.6 and I'm sure there's some left to go. I'll maybe even take the seats out for the sake of the slip.
Either way, we just strapped a 6466 on "The silver bullet", another Evo X that we built last year, and this one will be faster than my car anyway. So let's have some fun for the next 6 months and see who ends up on top.

This is the same reason that I am going back to a stock turbo, well that and I want reliable, smooth driving and cheaper for now.
But I realized that driving is tough and you can't expect good times just because you make good power. Hell, I couldn't even get a sub 2.0 60ft on my ef4, sure it was my first time out, but the car was easily a high 10 second car but I couldn't even manage 11's lol.
I will learn this year hopefully when I get my car back together, then start working my way back up.

11.677 @ 119.06 mph 1/4 mile
Hit the drag strip with my 93 octane road race tune after an STM Downpipe and STM Testpipe replacing my Invidia High Flow Cat. Also got the STM Intake replacing the stock setup with K&N drop in along with a Full-Race manifold replacing my stock ported manifold. Even with no tuning the car feels stronger for sure, can't wait to tune it on the dyno with the 96 octane mix I use, should be 380 whp on the STM Mustang Dyno and max for my NARRA TT3 class.
1.721 sixty foot
7.551 @ 95.41 mph 1/8 mile
11.677 @ 119.06 mph 1/4 mile
I still need to tweak the SST tables to allow a clean 1-2 upshift, it kept hitting the rev limiter too easily and seemed to meld both gears together making it hard to judge what was going on. I was easily losing .1 maybe as much as .2 sec but the 2-3-4-5 upshifts were all amazing right at 7500 and the car was hauling on the top end for pump gas. I have a really good shot at 11.4x @ 121.x with a bit of timing and leaner mix on the higher octane. Heck I might even run a 112 octane leaded race gas tune just to see what these stock clutchpacks can do!
