Evo IX 429awhp, 414awtq
That's awesome! Makes me sad my 8 makes the same on pump with turbo and cams. The 9 really does work magic with the stock turbo. Does the 9 have the same concern with the 400 ftlbs danger of a stock bottom end?
Those are the basics but if you're still on a stock motor then I'd recommend checking out an ECU based boost setup. Your tuner will be able to fine tune the torque curve to make things a little less stressful so you don't end up turning your block into swiss cheese.
I was concerned about the emanent death of my stock bottom end, but when you are controlling boost pressure via load and rpm you get a much safer environment.
I, like most people on evom, liked staying away from the 400 lbtq limit margin, but now I really do believe it's all in the tune.

Yes, as long as you know how to properly launch ( if you do launch) and there is no dangerous torque spike. The evo's 5 speed is very tough. It's like beef jerky left out in the sun for 10 decades or supermans cape.

The 6 speed transmission in my friends evo 9 mr is a joke. Sometimes when I drive it, and try to put it in reverse. It feels like theirs no option for reverse.
LMAO Nice reference. Ive heard nothing but great things about RRE. Got some friends who know scott personally. Wish I was out in Cali to be able to get tuned by them
