First time at the drag strip w/ the EVO

Well, I am a really bad drag racer. I am amazed they did not throw me off the track. I kept bogging the car off the line in both runs. I hit the rev limiter in 1st and 2nd on the first run and hit it in 1st on the second run.

First run results:

R/T .473
60' 2.339
330 6.102
1/8 9.18
MPH 82.79
1000 11.77
1/4 13.912
MPH 106.32

Second run results:

R/T .491
60' 2.151
330 5.773
1/8 8.738
MPH 85.88
1000 11.308
1/4 13.419
MPH 107.44

Well, at least that trap speed is good enough for mid to high 12s if you can sort out the launch and improve your driving.

It is a custom 100 race gas map that he made for me at the Portland dyno day.

He did a 92 octane map for me too in which I gained 15 whp over the base stage 1+ map.
