The best time I ran at the track was a 12.3@105mph. My mph never would add up to my Et's. I think something else was wrong with the car, just could never figure out what that was. My mods were 272/264 Cams, TBE, MBC@22psi, and a Power FC. I need to take my current car out for a run. It is more of getting the power to the ground in this car then actually having the power. Currently I am starting to have a problem with traction in third gear, so all of 1st and 2nd gear are spent bouncing off the rev limiter, so it will be mainly to see what kind of mph I can pull out of it.

I will be very careful because I've added a few whp since then, about 100 whp. I'm at the point where I'm afraid to push it too much at the track for fear I'll ruin the TC, tranny or diff. We need to go on a quite night when they won't kick me out for running under 11.5.

What did you add to your car? Did you change turbos again? Looks like roll racing for you now...

Under 11.5? You must really drive a beast! Let me know when you guys go out there and I'll meet you there.

I will let you know if we head out to the track. Have you been out there yet in your car? What have you done to your IX?

I go out there every other weekend. I race a mustang with my father. I have never raced my Evo. I will probably do it later this fall/winter when the air is nice and dense. Kind of afraid to launch the car and ruin the clutch/tc. I have TBE, dropin K&N, MBC, and Precision R tune (that you recommended me to a few months ago). I dramatically increase the performance. I used to have a SRT4 too. It was a fun car.

Glad to here you like the tune. William does a great job. Have you ever thought about running an alky kit in your car? I have seen some great results from the kits on the 9's and the 8's. I am currently running a kit on my SRT-4 with some great results.

I have heard about the alky kit but don't really know too much about it. I don't really want to mod my Evo to the point where I can't put it back to stock in less than 4 hrs in case I need to take it to the dealership for warranty work. That's why I didn't get the cams installed. I'll have to look into the alky kit and talk to some people with it.
