You're all still slow.
9s, 10s, it's all the same at that point, rght? 9s on stock block and ECU is nuts. Couldn't you make another 200WHP with the same setup on built motor and standalone (or whatever people use these days)? I'll still take 11.2 on the Green at 6000'. Real ambition, I know.
Man, I hope not! 10s on stock block and stock ECU is tough no matter what turbo you have. Maybe you did that with a GT35 or bigger in which case the combo was not too bright, but stock motor/ECU hitting 10s is tough to do.
What the heck is up with all the 9-sec drag times in all these signatures? Jayzus!
Tobz hit 10s up here, so not my goal nor accomplishment. I would like to hit low 11s at altitude now that I have a Green. I would need 3-4 tenths, which should be possible if we get it tuned and running well after a 2yr hiatus. I had just gotten the Green on with a few other things before the twins were born.

I had a 3582 non HTA stock block, stock ECU, Full weight back in 2008. Now i have a black IX and before my built motor setup i went 10.59@131 on stock block/stock ECU/full weight with an Fp Red. Its crazy all these guys going 9s on a stock motor, I had plans to do it but my stock motor deciding it like the beating
Good luck on ur quest for 10s, either way 10s or low 11s at the altitude is sick

Haha. I've been banned from the Newbie area for years, so that part is taken care of. As for groupthink, I don't know how many people "thought" in my "group," but maybe I counted as my own personal group? Anyway, I think I'm pretty indifferent about Evo things now, so antagonism is less likely.

Speak with 4WS tuning. With the advent of speed density conversion, GM 5 Bars, and Tephra mods the AEM standalone is rendered nearly obsolete. As we all know the knock detection of the stock ECU is 2nd to none I don't care how well you can tune a stand alone. Check out what he is doing, adding massing WHP and even better gas mileage to boot.

I don't know that I'd even install that old skool FP Green... so many better options similarly sized are available now...
The advent of Speed Density and Tephra v7... ecu based boost control... 4 bar map sensors that look like stock ones.
Ball bearing stock appearing turbos... better cams are available now... bigger fuel pumps (300lph)... 1600cc and 2000cc injectors that can idle on pump gas on the stock ECU.
Ohlin's came out with a new DFV shock. TRE is doing rear diffs that are nuts (might have been there when you were around) AWD is doing aluminum driveshafts on the cheap.
Oh just general greatness for the Evo community. I've been in heaven ever since I got here.
OH YEAH! and Borg Warner's EFR turbos. Check em out. They'll blow your mind.

Better cams is great - that's one thing I plan to go aggressive with now that the car really has no need for street use other than driving to the track. I'm doing a head rebuild due to years of it being unhealthy, and I plan to put in nice cams at the same time.
1600 and 2000? Jayzus? I have some 1000s in there now for the E85, but if I need improved injectors for that type of performance, then I'll do that as well.

There is no longer any difference in power potential between tuning with a stock ecu or an AEM/Haltech or whatever your poison is. With a built motor, higher compression, port work etc, there is probably another 50-60whp on the table, possibly a little more depending on other changes.
Btw, the ole MR only has 30k miles on it. Looks like I can keep the motor stock indefinitely now, too, based on what everyone is saying. I love it...

just be good
Damn dude, i was thinking of your slow a$$ the other day when i was in a thread and the guy in there was a complete idiot! I'm like wheres Warr when you need him to tay down the law! So i had to do it myself...i think you'd be proud!
