Nice run. although it didn't sound like you spun through 3rd gear
Maybe some in 1st. But didn't sound like the RPM's were going to nuts in 2nd or 3rd.
136mph trap is moving for sure. I would say there is another 2mph just from shifting. Sounded like you really took it easy on her.
If you are going to continue to run on your 18's you should look at the Mickey Thompson ET street drag radials. I have them on my car and love them!! 245/40/18. Car went from Nitto NT05's to these and it went from FWD style wheel spin 1st-2nd gear to completely 100% dead hook from a 1st gear roll on the street. They don't break loose on me at all from roll outs like it did before with the NItto's. Now on a launch I can get them to spin, but hardly hit the rev limiter on a unprepped track.

This was my first time at the track with the evo. I came from a honda back ground so I have some learning to do for sure. I took it easy on the car on all shifts today. I am on my third tranny and I would like to keep it, granted the other 2 were 6 speeds, I could have pounded on it a bit harder but I have had bad luck with trannys in the past.
I didn't NLTS any of my passes and don't plan to. I also have a bad syncro in 4th so I had to granny shift 4th today... kinda sucks because I'm sure that was hurting my time too.
Like I said, first time at the track and I have some learning to do, I'll be the first to admit that but for my first time with 600+hp and first time at the track I think I did fairly decent.
I didn't break anything and that was my main goal. I went to the track looking for a 10.4 @ 138 and didn't get that but better luck next time.
Thanks bud!

Friggin' good run, given the scenario you were in! I wish I coulda been there in your crew. This foot/ankle ain't getting any better. I'm so depressed.

It was acting really weird in 2nd, when I shifted it would bog a bit and then started to break lose as the turbo spooled back up... In 3rd on 10.6 run I don't think was spinning. This was one of the two runs that I launched pre pit to get the tires warmed up. I ran a few 11-12s spinning really bad prior. I really hate my 225 kumho.

You did just fine your 1st time out, and you left some on the table. I hear ya about breaking parts. It sucks when it does happen but I have learned to expect something to break when racing at this power level
Slow shifts into 4th gear will kill MPH for sure, that's why I was thinking you had another 2mph in her.
But again, not bad at all your 1st time out man! Good job on the build!

Ya, I would have loved to have you there. You would have had a blast but I understand you are old... We could have put you in a Mobility Power Chair...
Gotcha on the wheel spin. I was confused by the video.

I def agree that there is more left on the table. It was good to get a feel for the car today though.Ya 4th did kill my mph, but that is life.
Thanks, I put a lot of time and money into my build so it is nice to see it starting to pay off! Mikey

I actually did think about renting a Hoveround and showing up, but my ego couldn't take it right now. If the Evo were running I would've likely done it!

I'm honestly right with you man, and definitely a good job for first time with the evo. I don't really plan on driving the ***** off my car either eventho ill be on the hoosier dr's. Ill hopefully get close to a low ten somewhere just under 140 and I would be happy with that. I don't plan on driving it like I'm out there tryin to set any records

Hopefully your evo will be done shortly. I'm taking my car back to ER the last Friday of the month so maybe you can get off work and come with and we can pick your car up as we drop mine off I'm honestly right with you man, and definitely a good job for first time with the evo.

. It's all about parts selection. Mine is also as far away from a tin can as you can get. If it was it probably would have run some 9.80s easily.

My pockets sure as hell aren't deep. I just had certain goal in mind when I built my car. Now I wish I had money for a built motor! . It's all about parts selection. Mine is also as far away from a tin can as you can get. If it was it probably would have run some 9.80s easily.

. I would imagine it would be somewhere in the area of where your car is now, or maybe a 10.5. On my old fpred setup, I was cutting 1.63 60' on fuzion zris so our times might be pretty close.

Nice to finallt see some runs out of that beast! Been watching the build thread for a while, now if you out as much attention to detail in the chassis setup as the engine this thing could be a quarter mile monster 
Sweet run for street trim though!
