Stop draggin' the Evo! Re-read your OP again...Just build it as a fun street car & an occasional circut track car! Enjoy it! I'm at 88K on my car with a bunch of bolt ons and it's a daily driver. I do an occasional track day and I just have fun with the car!
Reading your comments reminds me that an Evo wasn't built for drag! Look at all the work, money and downtime you've been through to find that out. 'Flame' me all you want! Beat the crap out of that 'straight-line' mustang, but build the Evo for street/circut track and watch what happens! Wait for that huge smile! Good luck with your decision!!

You are so right! It's a RALLY/CIRCUT Car!

I would just take a step back, get away from any of this for a little bit, analyze it then come back. Im not saying take weeks off, just take a couple of days not to worry about your car. I always find that when its my car that keeps messing up and I wanna just throw in the towel , its better to analyze the situation from a fresher mind.

its been a 4 years.4 evos. 10 motors. 7 turbo set ups. countless tcases. and a handful of transmissions.
I keep to myself mostly on the setups ive had or what power im making. i added up receipts of parts i have laying around and i was disgusted. i have 2 motors in my shop and another currently being assembled. 3 motors 3 different set ups. im at the point where im overwhelmed and fed up.
i came across a deal on a new edge mustang and i purchased it. ive always wanted to build a grudge race car and/or a 10.5 car. yet at the same time my quest for 9s in the evo has been shot down 2 years in a row. and i have 2 different setups that should put me deeep in the 9s. the motor that is currently being built was my "last hurrah".
so i come to you guys what would you do? be done , part out and
to the bank. and build a legit monster that i can compete with orrr spend more money finish it and whatever happens.happens.

Less $$ on parts and more on driving.
You might enjoy it better, just saying.

i believe you can do it.......i mean wtf i ran a 10.8 stock block.....on a college students budget working my *** off for everything....we have a local car out here that just ran a 9.89 on slicks and if you want more info on his setup i can surely get it to you. just let me know...but i completely understand where your coming from.... dont just give up that easy....i can guarantee you can do 9's. i may not be as knowledgeable as you because you've obviously been through it all. but man cmon now. after all this giving up? just do me a favor and dont give up. that shouldnt be in your vocabulary. lighten your car up, get a amazing tuner, shep trans,shep tcase, put yourself on a diet, and i promise 9's are in your horizon.
