mind posting some more from the article?

 

RB Motoring made their evo LOSE torque? how did that happen?

 

car - 1/4 mile/trap speed = 0-60 = lap time
not in order
1. stock RS - 13.3/101.3 = 4.8 = 1:01.5
2. Vishnu - 12.7/112.7 = 3.9 = 1:01.38
3. Works - 12.9/107.9 = 4.6 = 1:00.76
4. RB - 12.9/106.2 = 4.6 = 1:00.79
5. XS - 12.1/112.6 = 3.8 = 59.14
6. Toda - 11.5/117.1 = 3.5 = 59.37
7. RMR - 14.6/89.2 = 6.3 = 59.12
8. RRE - 12.8/104.3 = 4.2 = 59.01
9. Sparco - 11.9/118.3 = 3.7 = 58.08


rmr's clutch was slipping during 1/4 mile and 0-60 testing.

 

FWIW, our 1/4 mile ET was a 12.2, not a 12.7. Just a stock EVO with a Stage 1+ engine package.

 

ok, I was looking at the side bars it says 12.7 but in the article it says 12.2. sucks you guys couldn't bring your "real" car. what issues were you having?

 

wow. how did RRE make such high numbers and get such mediocre performance #'s?

 

running a big turbo and unlimited boost for one glorious pass on the dyno

 

yeah but look at the track time. second best. obviously set up for the track and not 1/4 mile passes.

 

Really? Ugh.. that sucks. FWIW, our best run was really a 12.1 but it averaged out to a 12.2 when compared to the other runs.

We entered a customer's Stg 1+ car (ez76) for the competition. He was nice enough to let us use it as our back-up car just in case our last-minute slam to get our red shop car (now OTC and One Lap workhorse) ready. The red car did run just before we left for the shootout in LA but there wasn't nearly enough testing time to feel confident with it. I think it would've done well considering what it had done in the past but Shiv is a pretty cautious guy when it comes to things like this. His argument was that it would be better to enter a stock car with a $3500 bolt-on engine package and make good power than enter an EVO with $20,000 of mods everywhere and not perform as well as it could have if it were properly set-up (suspension, tuning, tires, etc,.)

They had an engine problem after the dyno runs so all their performance figures suffered. The road course test was done the next day with a replacement motor that they managed to get installed overnight

 

What month was this in??I want to go pick it up...

 

it just came out, the June issue. it says Evo Orgy on the cover

 

Because while everyone else ran hoosiers, they ran toyo proxes RA-1 they have a sponsorship deal for they didnt want to disrupt.

Not to mention they also had a faulty Walbro 255 that wouldn't hold consistent fuel pressure, resulting in dyno pulls all over the place.

 

uhhh no. did you even read the article. hoosiers and kumho's weren't allowed.

 

Oh, i'm thinking about the time attack a week ago at Buttonwillow. I havent read the article yet because you havent scanned it.
