You sound a lot like me. Thing is, I think I could hit 13.4 if I had my Xede w/100 octane.

 

do u think the gains with this over just a helix with a test pipe would b worth it ? talked to a local guy and he said only issue thay have seen is it makes the exhaust when its closed less flowing....?

 

Yes Drew we are both Broke azzes.

 

Yeah i could hit 13.4 on 87 octane and a Works Flash.LOL

 

I already looked at what your car made on race gas weeks ago after you posted. I didn't post it here, because I thought the number was supposed to be kept secret at your request, so I didn't tell anybody. Also, unless you have more than 175 runs at Dyno4mance, you don't have "A BUNCH" of pulls there compared to me.

Sorry, but you're just plain wrong there. EvilDylan made 300whp on Andrew's dyno with full exhaust. He ran 7.72 and trapped 91.3mph in the 1/8th. That's gonna be a lot faster than 112mph. GRocery Turbo's WRX trapped 108.x mph with only 245whp on that dyno.

I didn't see that you wicked up the boost after Andrew's tune until this post. That's likely what helped the most with the power improvement.

ARE you HAVING problems with YOUR CAPS lock BUTTON, man? If you like drag racing so much, maybe you should sell your Evo and get an old Fox Mustang so you can actually be competitive at it. That'd be a much better platform for the sport, and you'd save thousands not using a car like an Evo (whose design was intended for a real track with turns) for mullet... err.. drag racing.

That's not to say that everyone who drag races is a redneck. I've just done it plenty of times in my life until a little over a year ago and would prefer not to break my transfer case, roast my clutch, etc. To each his own, have fun.

 

Care to make a wager on that?


I think you should do a bit more reearch before you start making these wild claims. ie...20 whp gain from a cutout, and 310 whp wont trap over 112. I guess that the few drag strips that you've visited have given you an omniscient perspective of ALL evo's. Pretty bold statement if you ask me. I just want to get a bit of information out of you first, what was your 60 foot time, and what was your 1/8 mile ET and trap speed?
I trapped 91 with 300 WHP on andrew's dyno, and i am 100% sure that i will trap well over 112 mph. The day i trapped 112 i was bouncing off the rev limiter 60+ feet before i even crossed the line. If i dont pick up more than 20 mph on the back half then i need to work on my tuning cause i picked up 20 mph when i was running high 12's and trapping 85 through the 1/8.

Oh yeah, you're trap is weak cause ive got less mods than you. Quit making these generalizations that are obviously unfounded, and you might get a bit more respect.

 

First, what i meant by a bunch was that we were there all night trying to get some power out of my POS. You are right, i haven't been there over and over and over. I don't only drag race, i do races at roebling road, autocrosses ect. Im a motorsports fan. If i wanted a fast drag car, i would buy a mustang, but i drive my car daily and on the weekends i try to push it. Thats fun to me.

Now, back on topic, ive seen more than one car that was catless make 20+whp by simply opening a cutout. If you don't believe it, i guess there is nothing i can do until i get up to andrew's shop again. Maybe i can make a believer out of you.

I was trapping 109 with 290whp on andrews dyno with a 1.70 60' time and a 7.91 1/8th. can't remember what the trap was through the 1/8th and im on the ****ter right now so i can't go get it. that was my pump gas tune. so, i figured 1 more mph for someone who can drive better, and 2mph for 20 more hp.

apparently you are not a fan of drag racing, but believe you know more about it than me, so i guess you are the man.

 

wow, thats some pretty fast times you got there. i guess there are acceptions, but he said could be done no problem with no fuss, not many people are going to pull 1.62 60' times with those mods. thats impressive.

but, i still don't think you will get any 116(i think thats what he said) type trap speeds with 300whp(isn't exactly 300 whp, i was referring to dynojet power not DD reads low as ballz power). If you can prove me wrong, ill paypal you $1

 

 

 

ALSO, from that 1/8th mile time i just listed for my 290hp map i only went up to 7.81 in the 1/8th when i was trapping almost 117. i guess that was due to my slower 60' time combined with my slow shift to 2nd gear.

 

I'd be down for one except that I don't have that exhaust. My test pipe from Buschur racing is a slip fit, not bolted on like that. Send me a PM with some more information if possible.

 

No they do not
Have you ever considered that dynojets read high?

Do not wan't to turn this into another dyno thread, but my statement is worth considering
My 2c

 

i know how you stand on it. And yes, it could be the other way around. but 95% of the dynos are dynojets, so that is kind of the status quo. when i say read low, i mean, reads low compared to dynojet, not a lower HP number than the car actually makes, because id bet the DD is more on.

i wish everyone had a DD, would make comparisons a little easier. But, when most people are talking about whp, they are talking about DJ unless otherwise indicated.

 

Jeff, what did yoyu trap in the 1/8th in that 116.x run?

PS: I ran 12.90 and trapped 107.x when I made 245whp on Andrew's dyno in my Evo.
