Mellon Tuning EVO 8 50trim 93 octane vs e85
#23
Mellon,
Was that a journal or ball bearing 50-trim?
I'm curious how the transient response was on the street. Did it feel as responsive as a Red in the real world? On paper it's looks better than the Red...
Thanks!

it does appear to be performing on par with some of the better running FP Red cars I've tuned. The difference is that the FP Red is a bolt on stock appearing turbo. However, if someone came across a good deal on a 50trim kit then I wouldn't hesitate to give it a try based on these results.

Chris i guess the reason some are surprised is cause , back in the day when the 50 trim was out , tuners were not pushing the evo stock ecu , and most of the results were on stand alones ... some of the tuners in the past would have not imagined to get so high results on the 50 trim on a stock ecu
seeing these reults on the 50trim , is awesome ,
