What would you do next?

Ok, before you say you should have done a search, read my question! (please)


Ok my evo has what "I" consider a good amount of mod's even though not all of them actually help my times yet. I'm wondering what my next mods should be other than a larger turbo. What would you guys do? I want to run in the 11's

Here is a list of the mods:
HKS FCON V-Pro Standalone ECU (tuned by David Buschur)
Stage 4 BJCH Head
ARP Head Studs
780cc Injectors Ultimate Racing
272 HKS cams
3" Ultimate Racing Turbo-back Exhaust (no cat)
HKS EVC 5 Boost Controller (21.5 psi)
HKS RS Intake (MAF delete)
HKS SSQV BOV
Buschur Deluxe Intercooler
Buschur Upper & Lower Intercooler Piping
Buschur Mini-Battery Kit
Grounding Kit
Tein S-Tech Springs
Boost,Oil P.,Water tmp gauges


*One thing you might notice is there is no clutch on that list. Thats because I'm on the stock clutch. Believe it or not the clutch dosent seem to slip when im at the drag strip, but it seems very hard make it into gear under hard driving. I seem to miss quite a few shifts, could this be because of the stock clutch? My best time was a 12.5 @110 on a bad stip in 95= degree weather.

Why is it a PITA?? Because of switching from pump to race and retuning??

For 11's put those 780's to work and turn up your boost, run meth injection or race gas to avoid detonation. Part of the advantage to having no cat is that you have the ability to use race gas (leaded) without clogging a cat. If that stock clutch isnt slipping yet...it will.

good luck

You need a clutch... get that first and go to the track... ACT is a good choice
