Thanks for the welcome, for some reason, the forum isn't letting me edit or post in my 1st thread.

Don't know if you guys are into drag racing or not (I love any kind of racing), but I took the 996 to the track a couple of weeks ago and ran pretty well. Here's my slip:


My 996 is an '02 stage 4. It has K24 turbochargers, GT2 intercoolers, Evoms airbox, Evoms race fuel GIAC programmer, full TechArt body kit, full TechArt race suspension, Brembo 16" race brakes, 19" HRE wheels, TechArt race clutch and some other extras.

 

Sharky and Craig can chime you on this.

 

heres mine:
at the time it was on FVD stage 4 ECU and FVD race k-24s, stage 2 clutch, exhaust, dvs, gt2 intercoolers, 19's tires( ouch).
AND ITS A 6 SPEED( the reason i say this is cause it seems like guys with TIPS have better 60 foot and thus better TIMES.)

 

what do you guys reckon your cars would do (would have done) if they weren't on 19s?

 

i tried 18s MPSC tires... no difference(very surprised).
Problem with the TTis that the launch is a *****... u either bug it down or over rev it... if ur not in the perfect rpm range. Most drag cars rev up to 6000 rpm and dump the clutch- try to do that on a tt. NOT.
so the cars can be faster only if we would not have PSM to fight with, the wheel hop, and the ****ty short first gear which is useless. just my opinion.

 

Nice timeslips guys!

MARKSKI,
In your sig, it says you have a 2003 Evo. 8 with 648 rwhp. Your Evo is rear wheel drive?

 

Seems like these 1/4 mile runs are all over the place. Stage 4 is 600 hp right? Isn't the MPH pretty low at 123mph for 600hp? I remember sharky getting close to that with just a chip? Years ago now.

Just curious really...

 

Sharky did 117 mph if im not mistaken on chip and exhaust.. BUT HE ALSO HAS A TIPTRONIC- that is a whole different story. PLUS, I DONT KNOW OF ANYONE ELSE THAT GOT EVEN CLOSE TO SHARKYS RUN(11.7)...
knowing him- he probably had something extra(boost controller, intercooler spray)... not sure.
our times r right on the money- in my opinion.
what I dont get is how the gt700,750,800,and 900 hp TTs dont get anything better then 11.1sec. NOW THATS A MYSTERY.

 

no its four wheel drive... at the dyno we disconnect the driveshaft. that was at 30 psi. i can crank the boost up to 35psi now. I wish my TT was as fast(streight line) as my evo 8. I rev up to 10000 rpm.

 

No I'm pretty sure it was 11.6 at 123 mph... with just a chip. Yes it was a tip, but hey.

I'm not a dragracer at all, never been to a 1/4 mile strip, so I don't know much about it. I have taken a ride in a 600 hp turbo though, and it feel much, much stronger than stock. I'm just surprised that it only adds about 10 mph in the quarter...

Just confused is all...

 

here is some more confusion: sharky ran 10.97 @125 mph. hmmmmmmmm

I recall he ran 11.7 but the mph was less( I dont believe that a simple chip would yield a k-24s hp #s, unless he had something extra. mph denotes HP, and k-16s do not put out that. Knowing sharky, he had to have a trick up his sleeve, he always does. one can run 11.7 with less mph...
u have 2 independent cars running almost identical with almost the same set up....
and its was a TIP- big advantage in my opinion.

 

You are right, I'm still confused...

 

Holy god that's insanity, ive been ins ome fast Evo's and was at Mitsubishi yesterday wanting to maybe get a Evo 9 MR, the guy said and your getting rid of your M3, ar eyou nuts? They were saying im crazy and so on LOL, how much approx did you put in to be getting all of that power, or even a decent over 500hp amount j/w..

BTW i still don't understand myself how 800+ hp and tq 996tt's arent pulling low 10's or anywhere near it

 

I need to get my car to the track.

 

If ur going to modd an evo past 450 hp to the wheels... dont get 2004 models and above... especially the MR. they all have a different transfer case tahts doesnt hold up. they blow up all the time. My tuners's car runs 8.51sec at 151mph.. thats a 2 liter engine with a single turbo... and a 100 NOS. yes baby- 10000 RPMS.. thats what I got.
you need $15k for the full set up done the right way.
but can get buy with $10K without the engine job.
here a quick video.... too bad I didnt record the 10k rpms.http://djmarkski.com/backfiree.mp4
