First time at track - Best ET 11.7, best MPH 124
Hey guys - I took my Evo X to the track last night (Island Dragway, NJ) - Got a best ET of 11.7, and best MPH of 124.
Big thanks to Sean Ivey at IveyTune for setting the car up, and tuning it - Car was a blast, and ran like an absolute top last nigh. Over a dozen passes in less than 3 hours, and never had any problem (except that this thing is HARD to launch!)
Had a blast, will go back again, but I will need some pointers on how to get this thing out of the hole...My best 60' was ~ 2.0.
4.30 gears, and Exedy triple clutch make it very tricky to leave.
I think this car has more in it...It dynoed 565 on pump, but I since have changed the exhaust from the Agency power to MagnaFlow (and it still has the 2.5" reducer on it - Yes, I know...need to change that to 3") - And I could tell as soon as I put the Magna on there I had a power loss, and the car makes ~ 2 psi less boost (was 29, now 27).
I should probably put the Agency back on and see how it does with that at the track. I was hoping to see closer to 130mph on pump. Oh well....Next month E85 and 800 hp, that should get the car moving a bit better.
Any launch tips for this setup? If I can get a 1.7 it should go ~11.1
2.2, ETS 6266, AMS cams and IC, 1000cc's, Exedy triple, 4.30's, R888's.

But since a few friends wanted to hit the drag-strip I figured I take it to see how it did. Just had a hard time for the first 6 or 7 passes since I didn't really 'figure out' the launch until I tried a few different things.

I dont have any tips for you. Just happy to see evos at island. I went last weekend. There was like 20-25 cars at best. And mostly mustangs. The road that leads to the track is amazingly horrible.
Car sounds like a beast though. Sorry I didn't have anything constructive to add

Let me get through a HPDE day or two, then we'll throw the Cobb V3 on it, injectors, E85, and twist it UP.

Ya, last Friday there was no line. You just drove up and got on the track. I've only been to island a few times, but I've never seen it busy like englishtown or maple grove
