Yeah, I know the LEDs aren't indicitive of what timing system is used, they're switching to the LEDs because they are less prone to failure mainly. I really should have typed 'and the LEDs.'

The .000 RT is a NHRA thing and the timer actually starts at -.4 or -.5 depending on which tree you're running. Like I said, a lot of tracks seem to be changing to this format.

Some guys who were practicing at MIR were pretty happy about their .001 r/t... whatever that may mean as far as what timing system they're using...

Ok I know what you are talking about. I run NHRA and IHRA and they are both moving to LED. You're right, it is based off .000. I just automatically converted this in my head to the traditional .500. Funny how when you are so used to one thing, it's easy to just convert the new to what you know.

I would start the root of your prob with your avc-r .. Even if you cant drive you mph should be higher. Was this a mail in or did you get tuned ? I dont remember doing an evo with avc-r. Did you check for boost leaks ? 95mph is really slow,, i dont think they do that stock ..

all this trash in the thread and i finally got some kind of suggestion
I was the yellow evo in pensacola with the avc-r. Hmm the boost stays pretty solid at around 20 psi to redline. I might have to check around.
Yes my car sucks worse than stock.

Ok, buddy, you're right. Try leaving at the first yellow and you can get an 8 second time slip! It's true, I did it in September! I'd post it but it blew out the window on the way home.

boost seems to hold fine to redline and car runs fine with no bucking, change the spark plugs to ngk bpr 7es and the stock plugs looked normal. Don't know why the mph doesn't reflect it. Need to help a brotha out. Maybe I need to steal some drugs from where I work at and make some money to buy a bigger turbo

I got br turboback exhaust and air filter, avc-r, fuel pump and tt flash. I was hoping at least 105 mph trap speed. What could be my problem?
As a comparisson, my Evo was bone stock and my first time at the track I did a rolling launch and ended up with a 2.4sec 60'ft. I still trapped at 100mph. In fact all day no matter how I launched it I trapped at 100mph.

Sorry I can't really tell you what is wrong with your car though. Just thought i'd throw that out there.
