Bumping this...

Well obviously I didn't get to run this year and won't until spring but I figured I would share what the general consensus is on the national forums.

Now AGAIN, i realize it will take some time to nail it down and I don't expect to do great the first time out, I just want to make a pass and I will go from there.

From other 1/4 times out of Evo X's, people making 450whp (DJ) have been hitting mid 11's pretty consistently. Basically people said I would have to suck immensely to not hit 10's and are they right? Maybe...with an extra 120whp over them you would think I could shave off another .5 seconds but who knows.

I basically told everyone in my build threads that my goal was 11's and I would be happy...and 10's are the overall goal after going a bunch.

I just find it funny how people on those forums think its so easy and people here think its so hard...the guy who ran 11.5 recently was his first time on his FPred too so now I am wondering is that guy really good, or maybe the X is just easy to drive, who knows.

The discrepancy between national and local is just comical to me I guess.
