This is Kenny, Marc's friend with the white EVO in yonkers.

Just curious, but which track did you go to?

It was likely track, weather conditions.

You should be easy into the 12's... I know you don't want to hear this but it does sound like driver error. You can cut a good light and launch. But if you shifts are slow you will get turbo lag and run a crappy et. Just wondering...did you ever run your car stock?

yea i ran close to stock a week or so before.. 13.3 @101 with just exhaust and boost controller
im guessing i gotta get better shift points
its def is driver error b/c my car's stats say 12s but im still doin 13s..my launches are good...but just gotta shift better...
this is my second evo and it feels different somehow...
