Well i finally got to take the car to the track! The Street Car Takeover was in town and i figure why not a better time to make some passes. It was down for 2 months from Nov-Jan getting a rebuilt trans with an evo 8 4th and 5th gear along with an exedy twin HD. Other than that, nothing power wise on the car has changed. It did do way better at the track then i expected it to do. Started off with some mediocre passes trying to get the new clutch figured out but ended up with many 10 second passes then ended up doing a 10.7@136 after i dropped the tire pressure down to 25 psi. This was done on Bridgestone Potenza RE760 245/45/17 street tires. Not bad for a stock longblock just shy of 103,000 miles.
Ive been waiting a long time to get back to the track. And im sure this is the last pass the stock motor will see being that me and Tom have been discussing a 2.0l LR build which should happen this summer hopefully.

TSCOMPTUNED FTW!
Good job Morgan! 136 trap speed in a full weight RS is about a 650whp car. You didn't remove any interior or pieces of the car right?
Also 87F or whatever it was, doesn't help either. You should be very happy with your times. and ET. You improved just about every pass.
I think that car could do alot better then a 10.9 with that trap speed. are you on a stock evo ix transmission? If so I would look at getting a longer final drive or switching to an evo 8 4th gear on the cheap. I assume your going into 5th
Yeah the car is roughly 3200 with me in it. But yes full interior, only the spare tire, washer fluid reservior, etc in the trunk has been removed
Good stuff.

It went 10.76 at 136.17 thats pretty good for street tires and his 60ft.
That mph can go 10.3-10.4 with a perfect pass and slicks though (for this vehicle) (or quicker).
Look at my car. I went 148.14 and only 10.26. (pathetic) Its a lot different once you are actually there. It is hard to ET a car. The mph for the most part comes naturally with the power, but even that is skewed a little based on driving & track conditions.

Definitely had street tires. I'll let Morgan confirm.

The car has an evo 8 4th and 5th. I am finishing in 4th. And the car ran a 10.76...
