I'm not that concerned with this part.

Anyone want a very well cared for stock Silver X? Mike Jabba08 would vouch for how well I take care of my cars. I'd take $25,000 tomorrow. KBB suggests $27,000 in excellent condition. I wouldn't ask for that. 25,000 completely stock. Daily driven to and from work. That's about all.
next to jabba you have always had the most meticulously clean and detailed evos i have seen around.

everytime i look at my dirty beater i secretly hate you both a little more inside.

well whatever the ET's ended up at sounds like your car pulled one blistering fast trap speed.

are you happy with it, or already thinking about how you can make it go faster?

ok I guess I get it....

so i should ask who completed the quarter mile distance in the least amount of time?

I guess I was just think of the end result at the finish rather than the details of how they got to the finish...

if my car did 143 down the 1/4 mile i think i would be puckered enough by the end of the run to stop thinking about more power.

Nice tag.... I have no et to post cause I didn't drive my car at all.... I worked half the day and then proceeded to pick up my daughters and ended up gettin out the track in a whole different vehicle...

Again I will repeat I did not drive my car... A friend of mine drove the car along with a single pass made by Jay from J&S Dyno...

I didn't post anything about mph or et cause well I didn't do any of the work...

But I guess I need to clear it up some.... My boy Anthony Gates drove the car for the most part with the exception of Jay 1 time and the best was a 12.0 @ 143.13 mph if I remember rite

Basicly we didn't launch the car hard not even on 2 step not once.... Basicly the Exedy triple owned Gates (first time drivin Evo) and he was rewarded with face falling bogs hahaha it was sorta entertaining a lil

The car has some left in her..... It wasn't run at full boost it was rolled into PRP hittin 36 psi.... So I got another 4psi to go on the current tune.... But I think there probly a lil more power to be had with a lil more timing it don't knock so I know I can give it more and maybe even more boost...

I don't think I will know tho now until next year as I believe E85 is now the winter blend.... The price jumped up and the attendant at sheetz actually went into the office to verify that monroeville is now on winter blend so....

I'm probly gonna drain a lil out of my tank and test it to verify it actually did change..... I can't even tell just by my afr's due to the fact that on my way home my wideband went to 14.8-1 and stayed there so now I need to grab another Bosch 5wire sensor

Sounds like a fun time at the track.

How does curt get a green to trap so high? That's very impressive!

Dan, I thought your car would be in the 150's. Either way, who cares. It's fast.

Seems everyones elses car is about what I'd expect. I've always guessed my car is around 122-125 mph.

Canexican, id expect you can get about 123-124 out of 4th? That's what I've had my car top out at in 4th.

Cages for mid 11's on race points days. On test n tune days I don't believe they bother you...at least I haven't seen them kick you off the track. On a race day for points, they will kick you off the track....

Congrats to all you guys blowing the tires off at PRP. I wish I was paying attention and knew you were going...although I would have had the slow *** EVO running mid 12's

But not next year....FP Black for me (or maybe I need to have a custom tune done by Curt and just get a Green or Red)...

Really liking this FP HTA73 Green, I have a brand new Black sitting on the shelf but if this Green can trap 145 or so once it's back on E85 and put on kill I see no reason for the extra lag, I got the Green spooling up quicker than the stock turbo giving me a huge usable powerband, pretty cool turbo.
