Facts are facts ... The IX is more refined than the VIII.

For one, the improved coolant passages in the head
are something that Mitsubishi finally addressed.

It's my belief that Mitsubishi Engineers did a good job
matching the IX Turbo with MIVEC.

Put a 6.5 wheel or 20G-5 wheel and you are done

Who the hell will switch a big EVO 9 turbo to EVO 6.5 TME

!!Good power,lost the spool ypu won't spool.

I don't know anything else...but I'm pretty sure that evo 8's intake and exhaust cams are different.

so far from everything ive seen from vendors and tunning, the evo IX with stock cams has made the best power imo, until more cams come out and more tunning is done, then we'll see what happens til then

Brian Crower measures duration in a slightly different way than Mitsubishi does. Going from the factory specs per the service manual I got these for duration:

IVO 0-30.....IVC- 50-80 = 260* advertised
EVO 58.......EVC 18 = 256* advertised
Lift numbers are the same
