speaking of gas. i was filling up with Chevron 94 when i got back, and immediately i was getting knock.
thought mainland gas was just terribad, so i went back to the island and got chev 94oct there too, still knocking, had to dial my boost down to like 21psi peak.
so i decided to go to husky 94 with Ethanol blend. im back up to 24.8psi now, zero knock.
Chevron FTL. im pretty sure Chev 94 still contains no Ethanol
the car was tune on Chevron 92oct btw.
Good luck on your tune! i might not make it back in a while, im going to be house poor.
i definately will get some cams, IC, O2, Injectors for the spring 2011, really want to max out that turbo so ill have the supporting mods for an FP Green 73HTA or sumthin

Get some cams and you'll be atleast 400whp
(TLDR version in the bottom for people who hates reading)
all numbers are uncorrected Dynojet and on USA Chevron 92 Octane.
Hello all,
Just wanted to share the experience i had with english racing in Camas, Washington.
I went for a clutch install initially, and said what the hell, may as well tune the car while we're at it, even though it was mostly STOCK I had dropped the car off in the late afternoon, and they had said they were going to work on it first thing in the morning.
1300hrs the next day i show up at the shop and she was ready to go for a tune! excellent.
Aaron was the tuner, he was very friendly and informative, and had all the answer i could throw at him. He also advised me with an upgrade plan for my ultimate power goal.
During the tuning process, he walked my through his tuning process run by run, advising me what he had done to make that power.
[flamesuit]
First of all, my car had an off the shelf flash by an undisclosed tuning company which was done by the previous owner, and the car supposably makes 340HP.
if you want a tune, get on a dyno.
[/flamesuit]
Mod List
06 Evo IX
92 Octane Washington gas (i ran out 94 being lost in traffic)
Works Throttle body
Works Downpipe
Works High flow cat
Works Catback
ETS V2 Lower Intercooler pipe
Amsoil cone intake
Hallman Manual boost controller
Stock Fuel pump
Stock O2 housing
now some pictures! im not a pro with the camera, so dont hate : /
WARNING
failure to remove baby on board magnet could result in -300awhp reading
Initial pull, no changes, Flashed ECU by whoever.
I was informed that bone stock Evo puts down 245awhp on this dyno.
if you cant see, its 308awhp 280ft lbs @21.8PSI and its pulling timing at 6200rpm onwards. you can see by the massive faceplant of power and torque onwards.
the next run which i dont have pics off.....Aaron identified the problem and did some changes, which no MIVEC tuning or boost adjustment and he was able to have the car make 315hp/310torque.
then came MORE BOOST!! Aaron, too cool to look at the camera and smile
5 pulls later, the result!
327hp 318ftlbs of torque @ 24PSI on 92 Octane. thats +80awhp over stock with just BASIC BOLT ONS.
you may think its not much of a gain in the end, but look at the power band before and after. there was a gain of 60HP and 70ft.lbs of torque from 6250rpm onwards!!!!
I would like to thank English Racing for an awesome experience, i will definitely come back with more mods, and a 20L Jug of Canadian 94octane gas!
I hope i have swayed some of your minds to get your car dyno tuned instead of flash tuning. especially you Evo X guys!!!
TLDR Version; Dyno tune good, go get it.
