I ran 8.8's at Qualcomm on Friday, but I've seen STIthis run 8.5's before he got all his Buschur parts.

I was there almost all night. I have a White Evo with JDM tails, not the vishnu tuned White Evo. I think he was running like 8.4's or 8.3's.

Yeah, I stopped by and talked to you and the Vishnu tuned white Evo over in the parking lot by the tech check in. BTW what did you end up running that night? You have Vishnu Exede too, right?

Hopefully I will have it done in two weeks, funding is the greatest. Damn payments and insurance. What color is your evo? and are you living in SD?

well launch around 5000-6000. Ya my clutch is about to fall out. It takes practice. You have to have some feel and tell when to drop and when to feather the clutch a bit. I have heard that it can take people about one or two clutchs till they get it right...
How long have you been driving stick?
Also you might need some sort of fuel mang., since you have an intake and BOV.

Any time I can oraginize to be there. I can do anything you need done, and I am a starving college student(Read: works for peanuts)...My car is currenty using a borrowed tranny while ine is getting built so I may not be racing for a while. The shop said 2 week turn around but everyone knows that means a month :/

I don't mean I would charge for helping you tinker and tune BTW. I do that free to see us win!
