IS 350 vs Evo, Dig @ Dragstrip
Today was my last day on the strip, but it's going to take some time to update my dragstrip journal thread so here's a teaser. This is the Irwindale Speedway, 1/8 mile on 09/30/2010 at ~9PM with 84 and 82 degrees on the runs respectively, and these were my last 2 runs.
IS 350 with Joe Z Intake & Exhaust
vs.
Mitsubishi Evo with Intake & Blowoff Valve
Round 1:

Evo wins and he had a slight better reaction time. 60' was really close but he barely got ahead of me at the 330', and he was probably 1/2 car ahead by the end with .08 better in purely E/T.
Round 2:

IS 350 wins and we had the same identical reaction times with .536; the absolute best time is .500 so we were both had reaction times of .036 or 1/30 of a second. His 60' and 330' was a bit worse , and I was probably 1/2 car ahead by the end with 0.124 better in purely E/T.
Overall, our better times were pretty similair running in the 8.7's and 8.8's today, and we both have a few 8.6's for the best time in prior runs. This was run #16 and #17 for me so it was a really long day. The sad part performance wise is that I can only get headers (excluding tires and wheels) while his car is still pretty much stock except for some light mods.

Nice vids, I need a GoPro.
I have yet to visit my local 1/8th mile track again since the 95 degree summer temps. Actually netted a 9.02 with only a K&N drop in and launching at 2k BFG KDWs. Hoping for a nice 8.8 with 60/70 degree temps and a fresh oil change.
