so you think i should be fine after my reflash?

 

ok well does anyone know what kind of times i should run? i really want to beat a specific car at the track that runs really low 8's in the 1/8th. i know it depends on my driving but i fugured you guys knew more about these cars than i do. i just want opinions
to see if i need to buy more parts than i already have.


thank you

 

I wouldn't go VTA unless you're running speed density. Even though you may run fine, you won't run your best. You'll have a serious rich condition between shifts (may produce some flames out the rear with your test pipe which may be a plus).

I'm not terribly familiar with 1/8 mile times. I usually pay attention to 1/4 ETs, traps, and the all important 60'. Report back to us with your slip and I'm sure at least one person can critique it.

 

yeah i know 1/8th mile sucks but that is all we have around here. and i really dont like to streetrace.
do you think running vta can harm my car?

by the way if my car made flames that would be awesome!j/k
thanks burklow

 

anyone?

 

you really should put the stock dv aka "bov" back on your IX, if it were say a VIII, i would be all for a aftermarket bov, but the IX is perfectly fine untill you get around about 25 psi, then think about changing.

 

^^^ The IX DV is a great little unit. Some VIIIs out there would loooooove to have one. Switch back to stock.

The MAF readings will be all screwed up with a VTA. Trust me on this. My buddy runs a Greddy RS in his IX, but he still doesn't have a tune for his bolt-ons. Atleast you don't have the HKS SSQV. We see so many people here who buy an Evo, slap one of those on, and then come here and complain how much the Evo sucks.

If you really like the PSSSSST! sound, the stock DV and an open element intake filter will take care of that.

 

so is the stock bov better than the greddy?

 

IMO for your current setup, yes. Now if you have a standalone ECU, running speed density, high boost setup...the Greddy would actually be pretty good. I prefer the Forge or APS Twin Vent BOVs in terms of functionality, but that's all personal preference.

 

I am thinking low 9s.There is an 1/8 mile close to me and I have seen a few evos dip into the 8s that were stage 1 or stage 2

 

last time i went i ran a 8.6 with a bad launch i cant remember my trap though. and this is when i just had my tbe,intake and no tune. i would like to be at least high 7's with the mods i am getting,

i really wish we had a 1/4 mile track here.
