It depends on too many things for anyone to give you a guess. Weight, WHP, driver, etc etc.

On my 330whp (Mustang dyno) 03 Evo I thought I had mad 1/4 mile rac3r skillz but I when I went to the track the first time I ran a 13.3 @ 108

Get out there and let us know how you done did!

my car is doing pretty well lately, moving realy hard, less than 1 week till i know for sure, but one thing i will say, from the cars i have been racing recently and how consistant its been, im thinking a 12.0-11.90 is more and more realistic... weather is predicting 80 degree weather, before the big day im changing plugs and doing an oil change, so i think i have all my bases covered...

and the Gtech is hit or miss... it said i did a 2.3 60ft... and i know damn well that it was not a 2.3 60ft... it felt more like a 1.8-1.9, and i didnt build full boost on the 2step and didnt launch aggressively... i think i'll have the car dialed in by the 2nd or 3rd pass... but no matter the results... i will post slips and if i can vids ill post those as well

Well here is an update, this guy kicked some serious a&& today. He went in as the stock appearing turbo heads up, and finished in 2nd place. Don't really remember the exact times but i believe it was like 12.1 or something. Anyways congratulations Matt. Next year ill be going in that same class, the hell with bracket racing. Im so tight right now. lol. BTW sorry if you wanted to update yourself. :-)

Very hot day out there today-- Scarface2jz AKA "Face" layed down some real consistent driving. MPH was consistent, and 2nd place was ok considering it was his first time at the track with an evo and it was a heads-up stock-APPEARING class.

Evo ix turbos ftw!!!

haha thanks guys ! indeed i went 12.1 @113, i also went 12.2 @ 113-114 twice, and 12.3 @ 112 somewhere in there, i launched a bit too rough and spun 1st, and i dropped my tire pressure that run from 25psi to 21psi, which didnt prove to work too well for me top end, but in my 12.1 (my first run of the day, once the temps and humidity spiked by noon everyone ran like crap, it felt like 95* out there today) on that run my stats were as follows

60' 1.924

1/8th ET 7.8
1/8th mph 90.31

1/4 ET 12.129
1/4 mph 113.56

that was my best run seeing as the temp held me back all day from then on, but i did run in the stock appearing turbo heads up class... pretty much me with these 4 mods against FPgreen and FPred and BBK turbo'd evos... and as eliminations went on i found myself in the final 2, me VS a full bolt-on evo IX that ran 11.5 earlier in the day

now i wont lie, my RT time sucks, but ive never used a pro tree, so its not all my fault...
on that final run, .666 RT, 1.824 60ft, ET 12.248 @ 113.42, his ET was 12.279 @ 114.24mph

so the RT is what gave him the win, but either way i have a crazy huge trophy, a little trophy, some 100mph stickers and class winner stickers, along with a $100 gift certificate for powdercoating....

i guess that G-tech was really right.... 12.0... 12.1.... damn close, and i was right, my 60ft's are in the 1.8-1.9 range...

great day all in all, pics and vids to come !

oh yea, for all but the last two runs i did it full interior, no spare, and keep in mind im damn near 300lbs... yea thats right

Awesome job, must of been an exciting time!!

You honestly may have the fastest evo on record for the mods.

Judging by your times, you could be running consistent 11.7's once you get your launches down. A stock turbo, full weight, no cams, no meth, no intercooler, etc running mid 11's really could be a record. Even trapping 113mph for those mods is very fast. That tune must be extreme.

Keep us updated when you make some more runs

Congrats, Face!! on 2nd place win.

Great job 1st time out @ the track with your Evo
You drove your car, and the next time, you will know what to do with the tree. ( NO more getting Vanilla iced!)

I think you could've hit 11's if not for the weather, and getting used to launching on the track.
Next mod....fuel pump and injectors??

I was very proud of you, smoke777x, and 13 other Erkle tuned racers We all drove home, and had lots of fun!
