Now a SRT 8 Charger is running Mid 12's to some high 12's ( which is like 12.5-12.7).

There is no way an exhaust system and intake can give u a dramatic increase in whp and have the ability to catch up. I dont believe u unless the intake and catback gave u alot more WHP than i mentioned above


Now back to the topic. I hope this tune is available for the MR and props to vishnu they are brillant in terms of tuning!

Hi folks,
The Inside Line (Edmunds.com on-line performance magazine) just tested our tuned Evo X. Probably shouldn't reveal all the testing numbers. But it's probably okay to spill the beans on acceleration. I don't have the the atmospheric corrected numbers, but according to memory, the quickest it actually ran was a 12.6@109.9mph. Best trap was just over 111mph. But the launch was weaker so the ET was slower.

Just a few things... launching this car was a problem. The factory ECU not only looks at clutch position but also vehicle speed to determine whether to active the 5000rpm launch limit. So there wasn't any quick and dirty fix at the time of testing. Disconnecting the clutch switch (a la Evo IX) didn't work. So it would bog off the line regardless of how it was driven. As a result, the best 0-60mph it could muster was a 4.7s. Once we defeat the launch nanny, we should be able to knock 0.3-0.4s off of that time and bring 1/4 mile ETA down to 12.2-12.3s range.

Still, as is, our ET and trap speed are still approximately 1sec and 10mph better than the last stock Evo X gsr they tested. So this gives a good idea of what kind of power the car is making with just our PROcede engine computer and 3" exhaust. More info to come but we'll probably just wait for the review to hit the net first. As always, the guys at The Inside Line/Edmunds were great to work with. They take their jobs very seriously. Also tested that same very day was the new v8 M3, 135i, Audi S6, and Mini Clubman. The M3 testing results are already up at (http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...pageId=136231). Everything else should follow soon

Regards,
Dustin

The X ran a 12.6 with a tune and exhaust, (with out the 02 housing), with a bad launch restricted by the rev limiter. Whatever the hp is the car ran a 12.6 with a tune and exhaust. Put a tune and exhaust on an IX, should be around the same times. Yes the X is making more power, but beause of the added weight it slows it down. Its kinda a toss up, because yea you can do mods to an IX but it wont give you as big as gains as the x, but on the other hand the X weighs more so those addes gains your getting, get counter balanced a little. Either way 12.6 with a tune, and exhaust, and bad launch is good for any evo period.
