Hey fella's! Since we're talking about the racetrack and quarter mile attempts. When I ran my Evo VIII purely stock; my best time was a 13.6 @ 101mph with a trap speed of a 1.8! But last week, my car has been lowered, Blow off valve is the jdm mr and even a perrin short shifter. This time, I ran a 13.8 best @ 97mph with a trap speed of a 1.9. I believe my car has lost some power mayb due to the blow off valve. Also, I don't have good tires on as of right now. Do tires really affect performance wise on a 4wd car? I think it does but my cousin was telling me that as wear and tear comes along with everything. He said it is just the motor as it ages. I can also tell when a good run will occurr due to how it launches and picks up. I'd love it if it could stay close to mid range and just KICK from then on but usually it'll just go a little bit lower and pick up. I launch my car around 5-6k but never 7k! The way I launch my car would be to play with the rpms and then dump the clutch when its time to go! Overall, I might have to replace the blow off valve back to stock and maybe buy a really good aftermarket one that'll sound really loud and perform well. Since its currently rarely being driven, I think I will have to tune it up some more to restore optimum performance. I really want to hit low 13's someday. Anybody have anything to say? advice? solutions? Thanks!
