It's probably due to when/where you shift. You have no topend because of no cams - it's normal.
Yes, I was on race gas. That was before I was flashed and was using an SAFC for tuning. I think I ran 12.52@108.5 on pump gas that day in the heat and my narrowband SAFC tuning.

Skilmatic, we'll never be similar, because I don't have a IX. IXs are much faster, especially with mods. I wouldn't put 94mph as your goal, because that is highly unlikely. 92mph in the 1/8th would be a good goal. At that point, you'd have gone faster than I ever have in my Evo, which was 91.3mph in the 1/8th.

I'm the low 12s master, but I've never hit an 11.

But yeah simple is nice....... for awhile hahhahaa
then you will want more.

However, having a streetable low 12sec car is sweet. I am loving my setup right now. A matter of fact I just raced a evo 8 that was modded more than I was but IMHO it was a crappy choice of mods and I smoked it by 3-4 cars in a drag.
