That's the problem, man. I haven't once said your ET was improbably or impossible for your mods. In fact, there are a good number of Evos with similar mods running those types of times. The problems are the trap speeds, the splits, and the claim of 21psi. You still are dodging the nitrous question. Were you spraying a 50-shot or not? If not, then there is something wrong with that track (both lanes). Hell, even if you WERE spraying, something is way off with those timers.

Have you ever run at a different track for comparison? The previous claims of low 12s at 102 were way off, too.

I was not spraying into the engine just the intercooler. I know this gives a little hp maybe not much but, its a known fact anytime you can get cooler air into the engine it makes hp! I was also running 21 psi no bs! Goes up to 23 but settles to 21.
I have made other runs but only @ 1/8 mile. I usualy run 7.5 to 7.8 @ 93 to 97 mph. This was in the dead of summer also.
I'm not realy set up for drag racing either, I like autocross and rally more than drag racing, Not enough curves for the evo on a drag strip! And the previous claim was when I first got the car and didnt know alot about it. I tore up the clutch, tranny and diff. that day on launches! I have a new tranny built by tre, stage 4 clutchmasters clutch and cm flywheel now.

Right, spraying onto the intercooler does next to nothing, so it's not the explanation.

Um, if you were running 23psi, then that's 23psi, not 21psi. We don't claim the boost we see AFTER it tapers. That's crazy talk. Your boost is whatever the max boost you see, not where it "settles." Even so, that's not enough boost on pump gas to even sniff the speeds in that timeslip.

If you normally run 93-97mph in the 1/8th on 93oct with those mods and pump gas, then the track must just must be way off, sorry. It's not even close to believable, especially if you say it's more setup for twisty racing.
