Its still considered a stock turbo. Plus....you wouldn't know it looking at it. You gonna tell me that if somone ran a certin time on a stock 03-04 EVO turbo and they had upgraded the hotside it still isn't stock?

Congrats on the new time. I've been throwing the idea around about getting a stock 9 turbo myself.

Congrats to Norman and crew. The car is really fast for the mods and also is running full weight this means with everything no weight reduction. Also it runs on stock manifold and stock intercooler, complete exhaust, it's a great achievement. Great job and great pass!

He's not implying that he's better than you all!! At least is it not meant to be read that way... I think...

You are 100% correct

From: somewhere testing various tires, brakes, and suspensions.

Decent times, but you where on DRs (I would expect lower 60s with those too)and its more or less not a stock 8 (you have a 9 turbo on it). Id call it an 8.5

What psi and octane is that tuned for? Clutch?

BTW: stock cams, stock 8 turbo, flashed ECU, stock susp. at the time...on 235/45/17 everyday tires (Sumitomo HTR ZII)...100 oct gas (tuned for 93), and 25 peak psi (tapers to 22 at 7k)....and a leaking head gasket

60ft: 1.624, 1/8: 7.741, 1/8 mph: 94.10, 1/4: 11.931, 1/4 mph: 115.96
(.034 off your 60' and 1.04 mph behind you in the 1/4)

(Michiganders have 1st, 2nd, 4th (car is owned by MI resident now), and 6th)

Michigan does it better

PR has better weather though (and some hot gals
