just trying to figure out what trap speed you guys have reached with a no modded evolution 8?? i think i got a lemon on my hand, cause my top mph at the 1/4 is 93mph!! shifted at redline with many attempts. any ideas wtf i am doing wrong or what some problem this car might be having? a problem with fuel to air ratio? at the 1/8 mile, i am at a 75mph! any help would be appreciated.....

How's your traction, are you spinning on the box? You gotta think, your not accelerating until your tires stop spinning... I had this problem a few runs...

Burningmoney- What the heck is wrong with your EVO??? I don't think it is 14.8 slow, but even with improvements you won't see any thing better than low 14s, a possible high 13. Still fourdoor has proven that alittle modifying can solve your problems (with more experience racing).
