Default My First Kill Yellow Evo

My first kill and boy was it a great one, i was driving down the highway minding my own business, when a bright yellow evo come up and revs on me, i let it go until we get a clear opening on a 4 lane highway, he takes off on the 2nd honk so i let it go and didnt bother trying to catch him, we line up again and i let him honk, so the 3rd honk comes around from about 55mph i drop it into 2nd and letter rip, i right off the block jump him 2 cars about 125 we shut it down and i have about 2.5 to 3 cars, nice guy he gives me the thumbs up, i pull off at the wendys and talk to the guy, he tells me my t/a sounds tough as hell, he said he was running 12 psi, and it was his first defeat, i was so happy my clutch foot was shaking after the race. Great start for me

Thats weird he was running only 12psi because stock they run between 17-20 psi depending on the year. Just speculating but it sounds like he was just running off the actuator.

Nice kill ...but it probably would have been closer race running at full boost. Did he have other mods?

Well I doubt if he was only running 12lbs becaue the difference would have been huge. Your looking at close to a 80-90whp loss over stock. If he was only running 12lbs and he kept up that well then holy hell he would be fast at full boost.
