From what I have heard from the individuals dragging their MR's at the track, you do have to shift into fifth gear when running the 1/4, but hey anyone with a MR shouldn't be putting that kind of stress on the ACD system and that new 6 speed anyway, something's gonna start going on these...

edit: spelling

does this really work? cuz it does seem a bit difficult to launch on mine too compared to the 03.

Be careful, Evo's are not meant for launching. Evo Launch=Drivetrain stress...Drivetrain damage.

yes it does work.. I used to be able to launch my 03 all day long (I guess thats b4 I "un-learned" how to drive ) Then my MR was acting strange. Anywho fireball hooked me up with his learnings and BAM!! worked great.

peace
