First 10 second US Evolution
I think we are going to see alot of blown transmission's -- as the tuner's lay down 500HP on freshly prepared tracks. Soon, all the UK and Japanese guy's are going to be startled that the US tuner's are going to break there records like nothing.

RnR Racing 10.6 at 123mph (Fastest EVO 8 in the World)
One of our customers took his car to Sacramento Raceway yesterday for some testing on our GT35R kit we built and installed for him. It's our kit along with a bunch of RnR bolt-on parts to get a great combo for him.
He ended up only getting 3 runs in, but the last one was very good. The first tow where some low 11's.
1.61 60ft
100mph 1/8
123mph 1/4
10.6 1/4
The MPH is a little lower than it should be and that is because he didn't shift into 5th gear. He let it just rev out to 8500rpm instead of shifting. This lost him some MPH, but it gave him a better ET. If he would have shifted to 5th then the time slip would have probably been 10.9 at 130+MPH.
Anything after 7000rpm and he isn't gaining power or speed anymore. He still has the stock head, retainers, springs and intake manifold which is limiting high RPM power.
We will get the timeslip scanned and posted up here on pretty soon. We will also be posting a video of run on our web site. So you can watch the fastest EVO 8 in the world.
On the 10.6 run the EVO went up against a Pro Stock V8. The guy was a shocked when this brand new EVO 8 pasted him half track. I was amazed that the car went that fast with such limited mods and only a few passes.
Here is the mod list
RnR GT35R Kit
RnR 3" 02 Elim downpipe
RnR Short IC pipes, Tial BOV
RnR Cold Air Intake
750's, walbro
Big FMIC
3" Exhaust
Autotronic ECU PnP
HKS 272's
Head Studs
Stock Head
Stock Throttle Body
Stock Bottom End
Stock Intake Manifold
etc, etc.
We are going to throw a ported and polished head, sheet Metal Intake on it along with possibly some Nitrous and he is going to shoot for some 9's. We believe he can do it.
I will post some pics of the car and set up shortly so you can the hard work.

I just want to state that there was absolutely NO Nitrous used on this car ever.
We will consider using it in the near future.
Vishnu's dyno does read low. There is no way a mid 10 sec car only makes 424hp.
