FWIW, I ran my stock evo block and head to 8500 rpm on nitrous for a whole season. The DSM motors can take it, but I don't recomend everyone do it their EVOs. Just another data point for the discussion.
Jamie, all you need is traction. Bring that thing down to Jersey next weekend and put it in the 11s.

I need to find the proper shift points for my powerband, I shifted at 7500 in every gear to hit 12.2 but I never get enough passes to try a lower RPM to see if my powerband is stronger down lower. NED is getting rediculous with breakdowns and delays. Takes them way too long to get the track opened up again.

I am also upset I didn't get into the 11s. I should have went on Saturday. I heard the track prep was much better plus the weather was perfect. The 12.3 will just haunt me till next year, I guess.
I also need a fmic badly.

I'm sad I won't get to make any more runs this year due to having to break in my new engine when I get the car back (hopefully) this week.
Oh well, I wanted to break into the 11's where I'm at right now before I add any mods over the winter, guess I'll just do it next year. Maybe I should just wait to mod more until late spring???

I wouldn't be too quick to complain about the time NED spends to get the track back to us. I'd rather they take the time and make it as safe as possible. After my first run that nearly ended my racing career prematurely, they can take all the time they want. In fact, I was the last car to run before they started to prep the far end of the track at lunch time. They sent the scooter down to inspect the top end. Any time a car goes sideways at 800 feet or so, they should be looking at it IMO. NED is a very safe track overall, and I'm grateful for that. I do wish they would prep the track better for import events, but with the **** poor turnout for every date this year, I don't blame them for not spending the cash...

So realized tonight that I reflashed my car with an old map with a rescaled load scaling and was running that all Friday night. It explains why I kept hitting higher timing up top than I thought I was adjusting in my map[/excuses] lol

I realized what you probably meant after I posted, and after I wrote up the edit, this laptop locked up. On saturday some POS honders and what not oiled down the whole length of the track. I hope everyone here knows to pull right over if they suspect they broke something. My first run nearly ended in disaster at about 800 feet out. They went out right after my run and inspected the top end, and then re-prepped it. Of course a couple cars in someone else broke and oiled it down again... Needless to say I stayed in the left lane for the rest of the day...
