well u are making some power... but should be closer to 114 trap.....

ur driving is most likely the problem... and it is... ur shiftin is slow.

a decent launch is 1.8... good is 1.6 or 1.7...


stock evo's run 13.1 @ 106

quit granny shifting and driving like a little biznatch

road tunes blow, get a real custom dyno tune

your 60' is off by a lot, your feathering it to slow

you got good power cause your trap is good

more practice your suppose to be 12.8 or 12.7

I would agree with what others have said, your trap shows your car is mid 12's when driven well. Your launch is horrible. I say disable the rev limiter, rev it to about 6k and slip the clutch so fast you thought you drop it. Enjoy the 1.6 to 1.7 60ft times and then shift crazy fast a few hundred rpms over redline. Good luck

Well give us a breakdown of the run. How are you launching? What RPM are you launching at? Where are you shifting?

Your 1.8 60' isnt great but its not bad for beginners. Looks like you are shifting REALLY REALLY slow. Your MPH is good for mid to low 12's so keep practicing.

Its definately your shifting, your sixty foot wasnt bad the first run and you had a 12 second trap.

I had similar run with a 1.8 sixty and trapped 107. My et was 12.7.

You have the power for a 12 second run, you just need some more seat time, keep practicing.

Poor launching, extremely slow shifting, and weak power.

Nothing wrong with a road tune, but Devo is not one of the major Evo tuners. You've spent a lot of money on mods you don't need instead of focusing on what you do need. Learn to drive, and you'll see a drastic improvement.

Make that Clutch Work!!!

Don't be afraid to release that clutch at the launch... You might not realize it because you might get too excited, but I bet you have your foot on the clutch as your gasing it off of the line. Good-luck on your next run, and let us know if you do any better!

i ran a 13.1@99.5 with a 1.85 60 time, if that helps at all. its probably a combo of your driving\shifting and launching

Devo tunning knows more than 99% of the tuner/ shops out. Adam is prob top 10 tunners/ mechanics in the united states. If he did the tune, you can bet your dough that it is first rate.
