What the...13.4 @ 109??? A 1.8 60' is not that bad, so you must have been taking a half second to shift. Hell, even with a terrible, awful, super-crappy 60', you'd hit an easy 12 at that mph, but your 60' wasn't bad, and you only hit a 13.4!!! Wow!

I run 12.3 @ 109, so just think how much better your times will get when you learn to shift even remotely better than grandma. You should feel good about your trap speed, though, because 109 with an exhaust and no tune is ridiculously high.

Just please do not install that horridly awful K&N Typhoon !!! If you take just a few seconds to search, you'd know that was the worst possible intake on an Evo and should not be used. You also don't need an EBC - MBC is great - but it should work well if you know how to tune it. Just please get a tune (flash) as soon as you can, and the car will be a beast. Remember also that Greddy is just a name - it doesn't mean the stuff is good. You can get much more for your money without purchasing magazine ricer brands.

Also, anyone have any info on optimal shift point? And warrtalon you should feel obligated to comment on my original post if you are going to offer so much insight on that other guy's comment

thanks everyone

Nothing to say to yours other than the car is slow. Your launch and shifting aren't terrible, but the car is terribly slow. It's as slow or slower than a stock 03.
