nice impovement man, good job cutting down your time all in 1 day.
I probably wont be able to do that.

 

the only way to find out what you will run is just to run. I went to the track for the first time this past sunday with one goal in mind. Get into the 12's with a stop light roll out. Best was 12.6 @ 113. For my final run decided to use my 2 step and launch cause my stock clutch held up great with 52 k on it. Ended up with
12.08@114. My friend with a 9 mr se ran 12.38 @ 109 with full turbo back, boost controller, and k&n drop in. His numbers were 336 and 350 on AMS (Gaithersburg) dynojet.

 

jesus frickin' christ. bench racing FTL. you should all know that.

 

if you are standard weight to just pulled out the spare tire weighted evo.... you almost have to trap 118 to 120 or better to hit 11.5 or better. on our track, trap speeds of 115 to 120 with a 1.7 60ft yield you about 12.0 to 11.5

 

practice practice practice

 

I ran a 12.6 @ 108MPH my mods are in my sig. No track experience whatsoever.

 

just look at your trapspeed on your timeslips... that will tell you right away if 1)you are making enough power for a 12sec timeslip (usually upwards of 106mph) and 2) how bad your driving is affecting your ET (also look at your 60ft)

lets say you trap around 108mph... but run a 13.5. Look at your 60ft because it had to suck and it was your driving that yeilded the slow ET not the car. w/ similar basic mods i ran a 12.5 and from my 60ft, i had alot left in the 60ft... just get out to the track... only way you'll know.

 

it doesnt take much to get an evo into 12s huh?

 

Like i was told by a freind. It takes some people longer than others to learn on how to launch a evo.

 

yeah id say im a pretty good driver....ive done numerous launches....some bad, some damn good.....so i'll see what i put down this spring

 

12.8-13.6 depends how u drive i went 12.6 with the following

3.5"TBE, upper intercooler pipe, short throw, intake, samco BOV, turbo xs boost controller, boost at 20lbs, and not even tuned yet!!!...I can drive thou

 

If you have to ask, you probably won't do spectacular.

 

when u goin to the track? run it and post up the time slips. let us know. best of luck man

 

good times...i missed third twice during 4 runs my first time..could only manage a 13.2 at best becuase of missing third....both low 13 passes i missed third actually...my trap times say i should have had 12s though
