Took the car to the track last night. The stock ECU is really a problem when trying to launch the car. On the third pass it shut down mid launch so I only got 2 full passes in. First pass I shifted to 5th. On the 2nd pass the car was cutting out the entire way thru 3rd gear, I kept it in 4th gear on that pass so that is why the mph is higher.
The car weighed 3770lbs with me in it.
here are the slips:


60' 1.873
330 5.219
1/8 8.021
mph 88.10
1000 10.441
1/4 12.510
mph 107.58


60' 1.809
330 5.174
1/8 8.065
mph 86.23
1000 10.500
1/4 12.542
mph 109.56

 

Nice, first X in the 12s? What mods?

 

I believe that Vishnu ran 12.6 already so that would make them the 1st into the 12's. I have TBE, boost controller, ACT clutch, BOV, and Turbotrix Pipe kit.

removed my comment after i seen the ecu is killing the launch.congrats. kevin.

 

Yeah the weight is a killer. Also, until we have some sort of launch control on the car it is going to be real hard to cut a good 60 foot. The car has a 12.1-12.2 in it with a good 60 ft. The 1.80 sixty foot was dumping the clutch at 7k rpm.

yea the car definately needs a tune from what it sounds like.

 

Where you running at Etown? I had a friend with a gto run there last night and mentioned he saw a Evo X running 12s there. Im pretty sure its you haha because I asked him if he talked to the guy and he mentioned having to shift into 5th 1st run then kept it in 4th next run

 

Yup, that was me.

 

That is awesome guys!!! These X's can move huh!

Mitch

 

They sure can. Can't wait for the tuning software to come out.

Keith

Mitch
