I'm confident that I can hit mid-high 11s on my current setup:

Autometer Boost Gauge
SPF Steering wheel
RCI 4 point harnesses
MR Short Shift with kartboy bushings
TME Turbo
Ported/Polished/HPC coated stock manifold
680cc injectors
255 Walbro Fuel pump
Buschur Alky Injection
Halmann MBC
MR BOV
Koyo Radiator
Injen FMIC
Injen Intake
Injen TB exhaust
264/264 HKS Cams
ARP Headstuds
DynoFlash custom tune
ACT Street clutch
JIC FLA2 Coilovers 14/14
Custom lower chassis brace (7 point)
Custom trunk/side/strut bars

What else can I do? I was thinking of an upgrade to the GT35R turbo, ported throttle body with matching intake manifold, maybe a stroker kit, test pipe...what else?

 

maybe an EMS? I know AEM is the best, but what would I be able to do with that that I couldn't with the others?

 

Go with 280 cams with a gt35r setup

 

280 cam
AMS GT35R
AEM EMS
Mentahol injection
AMS intake Manifold
BF Goodrich drag radial with light wheel

 

Why AEM and not one of the others? what can AEM do that others can't? And I've got alky injection...denatured alchohol.

 

read the experiences of some of the owners here who got the aem then you will know why. as long as you have a competent tuner near you, you might hit 10's.

 

^^^ with the gt35r setup.

 

The suggestions of GT35R and all are good and valid, but have you even ran your car yet with the part you have? If your only "confidently guessing" that you run mid/high 11's now, I suggest you get some time in at the track with the car before worrying about buying more parts. There is alot more to running 11's, let alone 10s than buying parts and sticking stuff together.

 

yeah, I ran it once on the setup it's at now. With litteraly Zero experience on the strip, asking people how to launch during staging, a crappy launch, and rediculously slow shifts, I ran a 12.41.

 

ok, so you should work on the driving and tuning before spending any more money. The car will only get harder to drive, break easier, and run more inconsistently as you add more parts and more power.

basicly, im saying you should get what you have working right first before doing anything more.

 

good advice, thanks. These power mods wouldn't be for a while anyways, First I need to fix some exterior things.

 

yeah, I see way way to many evo owners put tons of money into more and more modifications before they know how to tune/drive/use the parts they have. It's just too easy to get discouraged and chase your tail with issues when you get too far down the modification path.
