went 11.7 at 122.78
1.78 60 ft
89.90 1/8 mile

get this''''''i had fastest qualifying time of the night---in the final i was up against an rx7----he stages----i stage ---get on the 2 step to 14 psi with the clutch all theway to the floor and my f...ing car rolled into a redlight----2nd place with the fastest car in the comp...
i think the flywheel or p plate had a hot spot and had just enouph friction to get it rollin.......any ideas please throw em at me ----it only did it on the last run---the one that counts!!!!!!!!!!!damnit

i need to get my 1/8 up some more suggestions throttle body----etc etc a stroker obviously....nitrousssssssss?????????????

im having fun hope you guys are 2

With your mph , your Evo has low 11 sec. capability.

Fast times man !!!

 

Rick SWEET Man , i knew you could do it.

 

you got sooooo much more top end with that setup...i trapped the same on a small .63 backside 3037 with a 93 octane pump flash with a full weight street evo....just fyi...

 

damn low trap for the 1/8 with that trap for the 1/4. 11.89 at 118 yielded a 7.4 at 94 here.

 

cant get a good hook up''''and still learning to drive the car,,,i know its my driving....i am still the weakest link iin the setup...but i dont know what to do about the 8th mile.. im running the gears all the way to 7500 using launch cont and flat shifting...i know its something im doing wrong......but havent figured it out yet.....

 

hmm..honestly I feel redline is not neccessarily the best answer here. Possibly try the shift points at 6900 to 7100 as I have had best luck with right around 7k shifting. yep the driver usually is the weakest link. The launch control building about 10psi or so? feather the gas at around 4800 to 5000 and then release te clutch smoothly.

 

i will try that next time out for practice...thanks for the suggestion......

Great runs Rick! It would have been nice to see the two fastest cars (Rick's EVO and MZM's WRX) of the night meet in the finals.

The funning thing is that I was watching you stage on the final run and you red-lighted almost immediately after you staged. I figured the starter would notice and reset, but he didn't.

Great night of fun!

 

BTW You should definitely try shifting a little earlier.. I shift at 6800 which brings me back into my peak torque range when I shift..

 

hey robert
yea it was fun, it should have gone alot faster.....i need to experiment and find good shift point, or ill just take to the dyno and find peak torque and use that, i think on the first run i was shifting just short of 7k like jack suggested...but dont remember

 

Good job Rick. I hope to be there soon. =)

 

With cams?

 

My car builds tons of torque much earlier than other cars.. but no not normally with cams.. hehe..
