Evo 9 + CBRD BBK Full turbo upgrade on 91oct and E85
On 91oct. I don't think thats gonna be possible so meth is definatelty gonna be in your list of mods to reach it. I would also suggest possibly the Red to get closer to that nuber but your not gonna have as quick of spool of course. Sucks not having 93 or even E-85...

FPreds make about the same power, if not a tad less on straight 91 oct compared to the BBK Full on our dyno.
BBK Full spools a ton better on 91 oct. BBK Full better pump gas (91) turbo in my book by far.
BBK also has the advantage of now being the only stock frame turbo to actually look 100% stock from the outside as well. No plaques or recast compressor housings. For some people, that matters.

EXCELLENT point. i live in california. in my town (fresno) we have Dragnet that goes around profiling imports and using a B.S. VC to pop hoods. so yes: to me that is VERY important.
they are using a VC (Division 2, Chapter 4, Article 1, VC2804) that states they can pull a car over for a "safety inspection", if the car appears to be unsafe for the road. the inspection allows them to check brakes, under the car, lights, etc.. as well as under the hood.
when they pop the hood, they "happen" to notice some parts that don't look to be OEM. CARB number or not, they are writing tickets to see the ref.
they have, admittedly, been profiling imports listing things such as:
- aftermarket wheels
- aftermarket exhaust
- lowered
- stickers
- tinted windows
and more, as being likely offenders for emissions violations. they have also been writing tickets for modified exhaust, telling people they have to have the OEM exhaust, which we all know is not true.
and when you ask them to prove you are over 95dB? well, it's their discretion. so here's your ticket, go get it tested.
then there are the tickets that are upgraded to a "street racing" type of infraction. rumor has it the reasoning is so they can show a higher level of street racing activity to get more money (the city of fresno, where i live, was once given a fat grant to battle our street racing "epidemic").
it sounds like i'm paranoid, but all this is info is documented and some comes from the Dragnet director himself, as a few of us have talked to him regarding the matter.
it's gotten better over the past year or two.. but it's still happening. Fresno is cracking down, big time, on imports. meanwhile a turbocharged LS1 camaro, as well as a 1,000,000dB harley all get thumbs ups.
cali sucks. fresno is one of the worst places to own an import. but, my son lives here. i can't move.
**edit: i'd like to add that if it were to check for stolen parts, i'd be ALL for it. i wouldn't care if i got pulled over every week. i HATE thieves.
taking all this into account.. i'm gonna try to make the most power i can while still appearing OEM. i've done the cone filter-in-the-airbox mod. was planning on a BBK.. then changing the FMIC for a ETS 3.5" and the LICP. done dizzel. i even thought about a milspec cat.. but i'm not sure how much power i'd lose.
sorry for the long, off-topic post.

How much laggier are the reds even with mivec?

^ it is a factor, but not nearly as big of a factor as all the crap that goes on inside your house (electricity, etc). they make laws to get money :P and our legal system is frequently unjust too. DAs are pieces of **** (no offense if you are one; not generalizing EVERY DA) who just want their stats for convictions high.. they don't like to let ppl off even if they are innocent, in a sense.. but yeah lol.... most new laws nowadays are just stupid.. we can read a book but not text while driving.
