Thanks Al. I appreciate your response.

 

Al, congrats

So revving past 8Krpm works good? Are you still running stock valve springs/retainers, or have you upgraded?

 

In my opinion, this is like saying that I have the fastest '98 Eclipse, ignoring the fact that there are other models years that are esentially the same car (ie a faster 96 Eclipse). I actually can see the difference between the EVO I-III as there are different motors, and huge layout differences. After that the drivetrain remains basically the same, so in a 1/4 mile race I consider them the same (Evo IV+).

Also it is my opinion that the AMS Evo II is so much faster that I hardly think weight is the only factor.

 

Don't forget the enjoyment and the pride of saying you did it yourself.

 

Al,

how is the lag with the new turbo?

I know Mark Myers is getting a kit soon and i cant wait to see it

 

Nice article man ! Your "action shot" inspired me to do a nice "action shot" recently - did you hear about that through the grapevine???

I still have the sock springs and retainers and it felt like I was having major valve float as I approached 8,000

 

Even though they have had Subys all over the world with turbos for years - - - we all on the original i-club were all having contests to see who could be the fastest WRX in the US - - to me its the same game here as the EVO is basically a new car to us - who cares what they have been doing overseas for the past 10 years

To me the idea is to push the technology and ideas to make OUR Evo VIII's fast

 

IIRC he uses a 50 shot, I think.

 

good job al, but is it really the fastest and quickes in the world ??

 

Maybe - maybe not - I know its the fastest I have heard about on the internet. If anyone was running faster on a public track I am sure I would have heard about it somewhere. There is always the off chance that someone may have run on their own private track and is keeping it secret.

 

Remember people, the fastest Evo 8 in the world, not the fastest Evo. We all know some of the Europe guys are running 10's and maybe even a 9 somewhere overseas.

 

Congrats! And good luck in the future!

Best regards,

Mike

What about the money shot?

 

WHERE'S YOUR TIMESLIP MAN?? I'M WAITIN FOR PROOF OF YOUR RUN. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY YOU WON'T POST IT IF YOU HOLD THE FASTEST EVO VIII RECORD. MAYBE YOU DONT EVEN HAVE AN EVO.
