seems as evo-m does not like dyno-mometers anymore. Guess they are using drago-mometers instead. i hear they are very accurate ;) especially on different days with i am sure different conditions.

well 11.7x on a stock turbo from a normal man (read not curt brown) is impressive no matter how you look at it. the fastest most ppl do on an 8 turbo is about 11.9.

they runs are impressive, but i do not see how he can say he has a 15whp increase w/o tuning because of his difference in times.

I've seen alot of 11.6-11.9 time slips with stock turbo evos running 116octane fuel and big boost like this guy was. Espically on the east coast where everyone seems to know how to drive better.

Hell even Racers on here did a 11.5 with the stock turbo with 116.

I also hear that in order to get a correct drag-o-meter results you have to stick a beer can up your arse to make sure you have proper volumetric efficiency from your butt-o-meter.

Otherwise your readings will be off.

the faster times on the east coast are also due to better track prep. Sac raceway is one of the worse prepped tracks anywhere. They put a whole bunch of VHT the first 60-100 ft of the track and none elsewhere. on the east coast... from what i hear the last section of the track is just as sticky as the first.
