Test & Tune August 10th

Hey guys just curious if any of you were going and wanted to join me. I just got done yesterday with my race gas map up in Wyoming with Justin and will be heading up Wednesday. As Justin says "this thing pulls like a raped ape" and I can't wait to get up there. Hopefully here comes 11's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would like to go and race cause I got the new clutch in but It won't be ready to beat up by then.

Hey Turbo13 I heard your car is nasty fast now. Good luck man. I hope you pull an 11. That would be sweet as hell. Post your time when you get it and I hope the track has cool weather for better runs.

I will for sure Smokey thanks for the good luck. I really think it MIGHT have an 11 in it, with Justin's help of course!!

I think he's every bit as good of a driver as I am, if not better. I forsee no problems getting his car into the 11's.

I want him to beat my time... No pressure, right?

Good luck! I would join you if I weren't on the East Coast. I should be ready for some test'n'tune action up that way as soon as I move up there in October, so continue to post your trips to the drag strip.

I will be able to provide a good altitude comparison, since I'll be going from 500' to 5000'+. We'll see how much my et/mph suffers, then the rest of you can use that as a baseline instead of relying on altitude conversion calculators.

see i love 1/4 mile pulls. never done it in the EVO. used to race my bug all the time. I like the way i can get it off the line. the EVO will be a fun try. I still dont NEED a clutch yet but I will eventually. im trying to wait until my tranny acts up so I can have Quality replace it. and throw in the ACT with a 6 pucker. is Quality the place to go. I used to take my talon there but it was used. Is any other dealer better??

I will be interested to see how you do up here. Are your 60' times pretty consistant?? It will definetly give us a good idea of what the difference between sea level and crappy air is Plus I haven't seen any MR's run up here only the 03 and 04's
