Bad Bish and a few quick dyno pulls with new stroker-amazing
I built the engine a week or so ago. Dan is the magic man, the pulled thenold one and dropped in the new, rebuilt trans all in about 4 hours.
I've got a Contour HD camera. I don't like that I can't watch the videos though, that and thenGo Pro "skip" for some reason. My iPhone is about as good as it's gonna get, nice thing is I can upload the stuff to YouTube myself. I also just bought three nice suction cup style mounts for it.
BTW, did I mention this thing Is ridiculous!?

^^^ gotta love forums, I can only imagine " David Buschur caught street racing in a school Zone"
I'll be sure to keep a look out on highboost for the video ( along with the moderators and everyone else)

Glad to hear the beast is back up and running again already.
I don't know if this has been mentioned in another thread or not, but do you plan on doing any future tests with the new Borg Warner EFR turbos?

No I am not testing or running the BW turbo's. None of them fit on our existing kits and it's not worth the time and effort to build new headers, 02 housing, downpipes and such to put them on the car for testing. The big turbo kit sales have fallen off the last few years because of the FP line of turbos that do so well on the stock manifolds.
Could my car be better than it is? Possibly but I'd have to guess marginally better. I believe the new header I built will be an increase in overall power and also feel that the biggest benefit to most of the twin scroll hype is the small ID tubing used on the headers when they build them in twin scroll.

If you need more power than this in an EVO, I don't know what to tell you. The car is absolutely incredible. Throttle response, boost response are exceptional to say the least. The power this combination makes at a peak of 33 psi completely BLOWS my mind. 1st and 2nd gear are completely useless and if you roll into it in 3rd it's pretty useless too. 4th gear the car finally hooks up and when it does the speeds it achieves in seconds messes with my head.
Autocrossing this car should be a complete joke, maybe impossible.

Well I was hoping to see you test the new BW units, but it does make sense why you won't. Can't wait to see the end result of this setup
