What kind of times can I expect with a ****ty 60'?

Evo IX ssl. 393whp / 411 ft lbs stock turbo e85..

100% stock drivetrain


any guesses? going saturday will post times when I get back

 

Mid-12's at 117 and a very smelly clutch.

 

Ran today. Only ran 3 times. The one decent run I had, the car did something weird in 3rd gear which you can hear/see in the video. It bogged real bad then picked back up for a second. Idk what it is? Plugs maybe? Any input on that would be awesome.

Other than that, I had fun. The pass I mentioned above was a 12.74 @ 112.8mph. I really think if it wouldn't have bogged it could have been a 12.2-12.3 @ 117 or so maybe?

 

12.1-12.2's definitely possible. Shift faster 1-2. Should be better MPH, even with the funny business in 3rd, though.

 

Gotcha. I'm gonna fix this little bug & at least get a better clutch in it and go back.

 

You need a clutch, but 112 MPH is your time. With a better clutch you may get better trap speeds but not 117MPH.

 

i think you hit boost cut

 

High_PSI - I was expecting higher MPH as well. About 400 HP on E85 *should* be more like 117, right?

 

Can you elaborate? Excuse my noobness please

 

I just watched your video , what rpm did you leave at? It seems like you can leave the line a bit harder which will knock your times down as long as your clutch is up to it. I think your car which is about a 400 whp /400 wtrq should run quicker, with more practice you will hit 11's at your power level BTW nice wheels are those Work wheels?

 

no reason you shouldnt be able to get a 1.8 60ft which will lead to low 12's even with the weird 3rd gear issue. high 11's with a 117 trap

 

i think i left around 3500 or so. I am still on the stock clutch / drivetrain so didn't want to test the limits. Once i at least get a clutch in the car i will definitely go back and launch it a bit harder.

so without the 3rd gear issue, a 1.8 60', and good shifting... ~11.8-11.9 @ 117 or so? Is that decent for a stock turbo e85 272 cam full weight Evo?

 

Yes upgrade your clutch, but don't worry about your stock drivetrain launching. It can take it at your power level. You need to be launching your car at 5k+. Don't worry about ET at the moment. Your trap speed is dependent on a lot of factors...weight being one of them. If you're full interior stock weight 117mph sounds about right for 400/400

 

Cool deal. I'm going to get back out there within the next couple months

and yeah, full ssl interior. only thing i've removed was the spare tire

 

Here's my Evo 8 with 400hp 400tq with Hoosier dr tires
