yeah soon2beevo knows that around our are 357 does even let u on the field with the big boys let alone in the game. thats why the syclone has so much hp it what u need haha. we have more fast cars riding around here. but im 29 now ( b-day was sat) and the street racing scence isnt really what im into any more. I want to get in my car start it up and know that turn key im making close to 500 and on race gas i can put down more. I know with more power come the responsiblity of keeping it in check and with having a fiance that is my whole world at home nothing is more important then making it home to her. That the real reason i stop the street racing scence bc i made a promise to her to not to anything stupid and always come home. so for me if i want to drive like a maniac the track is 20 mins away.

But the ablity to have 500hp all the time is great and what i want. thanks for all the info and help man

I want to keep driving my evo everyday but make more power and im sure once the syclone is out of the garge the evo will become a nice weather car.

So after reading bernados luck with the BR3065 kit and from talking to Jrod at BR that is def the way im going to go. Bernardo made 475 on just 23psi pump and meth and Jrod well we all know about Jrods success.

So my ?'s to u guys is how reliable are ur cars with close to 500awhp? What kind of gas milage do u get? Are they still just as fun to drive as they were when u had stock turbos? Do u have alot of driveline issues?

Thanks alot guys

Every car is different. When you modifiy a car 2x its stock power recommendations reliability just went out the window .

I am making 550 hp on a mustang dyno right now on pump+meth and it hasn't given me any issues yet. I drive the car every day and often take long road trips with it.

To me, it is easy to stay out of boost and just drive around like a granny. So my MPG is great.. I am not sure what it is since I never look at my miles since my zetronix screen blocks that part of the cluster.. But I put 10 bucks in at a time and that will last me the whole week. It might be easier for me to stay out of boost since I have a 2.4 block so the car scoots around great without any boost.

But, when I do have a chance to go out and do some WOT pulls it is a great feeling and totally worth the money spent. Soon I will be going with E85 fuel+meth to be able to have 600+ for every use. I am a lil nervous about that upgrade since I am still on the stock t-case + axles still.

I have a 500+whp Daily Driver, I drive over 50miles a day to and from work. Stock block also, no problems at all, seems like I had more problems stock turbo than this turbo. I may boost 1psi or so a day by just driving around.
