Not sure what you mean - I meant exactly what I said. He made terrible decisions on spending his money. He is now playing catch-up and will be ok after spending a lot more money. In the meantime, he's been driving a slower-than-stock Evo.

Actually all he is missing is a flash as he said he already ordered the downpipe and ordering the MBC. Not really alot of money. All he did wrong was drive it hard before it was tuned properly.

wait a sec, he said he has a test pipe, cat back exhaust, intake and a bov. i dont see any of that hurting performance in any way.. maybe the bov is a waste.. but otherwise, mods are relatively standard for someone just starting out.

Intake is a waste w/o a tune.

The mods aren't bad as long as you get a flash. The thing is.......you could have bought different mods and made way more power. The intake and BOV aren't really needed until you get other mods first......just look at the Warrtalon packages.......thats the best way to start out.

You also might want to start saving for a good clutch..... If you already dont have one.

PS. We have a drag racing forum. See you there.
So i see how much it would cost for my car to be as good as yours. But how much would it cost me to become a living legend like you????
