i have a 1995 rs eclipse with a rebuilt head, bored out bottom end, stage 2 cams, intake and exhaust and i was sitting at a red light cruising when a scion tc pulled up. he had from what i heard an intake. at the line i dumped the clutch at 4700 rpm's and gunned it. we went for about a mile 1-2nd gear we were neck and neck then in third i pulled him by about 3 1/2 cars. i cryed it was sooo beautiful.

Was this with or without powershifting?

with the stage two crower cams you should be shifting a little higher than 6800. might want to get your car dyno'd and check out the powerband.

That's some good information right there..
I dont have stage 2 or stage 1 cams for that matter so Im not going to even attempt power shifting on the stock short block until I get the stock cams degreed in with my G-tech Pro.

Yeah guys, come one. Just because you guys drive 12 second cars doesn't make you better than him. Do you feel better after making a clever comment on a message board? I hope not, because if you do. Its time to find somthing better to do. I give him props for having such a fast n/t.

dont worry bro i was doing that on my stock block when i first got it. i didnt really mess my car up that i noticed and i read that damn CHELTON Mitsubishi eclipse book front to back the first week i got my car so i would know if something was wrong. and thanks to the guys supporting me, im sorry i cant afford a gst or gsx i do what i can and for me this IS a big kill cuz they put like 170 at the LEAST to the wheels. and for me to take my car the puts barely 160 to the wheels (i live in colorado) thats good shit.

I actually like the new Scion TC's. I think that they look pretty hot with a drop and some wheels.
Good job on the kill. It don't matter what you got, we all start somewhere. I know of plenty of kills in my 2.0 vw. lol
they have a premium wheel package now that looks pretty frickin nice. There is one in the mall, with all the options for only 19k
