Default Took the Evo to the track last night

Ran 7 times. overall I guess I did ok. it was my first time up there so I wasnt expecting to do great.. VIDEOS TO COME

1st run with a bogged launch (I was only trying to launch at 4k just to get the feel)
60' 2.669 - ouch lol
1\4 14.53 - ouch again lol
MPH 108


2nd run tried the 2step and learned I dont know the clutch to well
60' 2.28
1\4 13.41
MPH 112

3rd runlong on the 2 step and good clutch play this time
60' 1.88
1\4 12.46
MPH 113


4th run and best of the night
60' 1.84
1\4 12.38
MPH 114.6

5th run held the 2 step for a long time built alot of boost and boiled the tires out of the whole (kinda cool actually but killed my time a little)
60' 1.94
1/4 12.44
MPH 114.7

so after the big improvements I was happier lol and showing some consistancyso I upped the boost a little bit more to a solid 23PSI ,the other passes were all at 20ish

the last 2 runs pissed me off. because I wanted to improve and I was trying to hard and screwd my launches bad

6th this run was up on an STi, I bogged the hell out of the launch then popped out of 3rd gear so I just tossed in 4th lagged again and went on so I was expecting to pull a high 14 lol. and have it be known I WON STILL hahaha
60' 2.23
1/4 13.47
MPH 111.3

7th
60' 2.49
1/4 13.6
MPH 114



well that is that. I never lost despite some bad runs. only had one good race. my 2nd run. bogged the launh raced a cobra and still caught up and passed him mid track.

there were like only 2 street cars there that ran better than mine. so I know my driving needs some help , but alot to do with the fact the car has only been up for 2 weeks so I didnt know how to drive the new clutch. Also I think I am losing out on some power by my flash because it is super rich. I think I would have made a little better if it was actually dynoed

I know. with cooler than 95 degrees and a little more boost I might get close. plus I might mess with my SAFC to adjust my tune a little for now. I dont think ill be back up there untill late sept. or somthing

Nice job Mike. We all know that you can do better with the 60'. 1.84 isn't bad. Are you getting that with the 2 step on? It looks like it, but I was just curious.

Nice runs John!

That white 1G was badass too. Although his 1-2nd shift sucked.

I bet. I'll find out how much it takes getting used to once I install my wiring for it through DSMLink
I've never seen or heard an Avenger with a stutter box/2 step before, lol. Then again, there's only a tniy handful of AWD turbo ones too, lol.

Anyway bro, I have a feeling that once you get used to it, you'll drop that time to at least 1.7x. Do you have an aftermarket clutch yet? I forget. [>:]
