i'm trying to find some things to do to make my evo 8 a little faster. i plan on using it for auto-xing so i'm not looking for a huge amount of HP. i have to have the cat because of where the car is gonna be registered so please post me some links of some suggested upgrades. thanks in advance.

 

I'm really not trying to be a jerk, but I've been reading for about a week...hours a day...just to answer that question. There is so much information in here, you could read for a month and keep reading. Very simply...if you look around, you don't need this thread. All the answers are being written about in more detail than you can ever want.

 

i don't have the time to sort through all the posts

 

Well, then you probably don't have time to do anything other than take it to a professional tuning shop and just let them tell you. Don't know what's around KY but Vishnu, RMR, Works, or Pruven are all good sources who could tell you where to take your car in KY. Otherwise, just send your ECU to Works for the reflash and you'll get a quick 25hp without doing anything else.

 

AFC and exhaust...easy way to make good power

i've already ordered a profec b spec II boost controller. what kind of AFC and exhaust? gonna go with a 3" cat back system but not sure from which company. suggestions?

 

If you put in an AFC you will be running in street prepared class, minimum, for auto-x. If you are in prepared you can run full exhaust. So basically if you are running stock all you can do is a drop in K&N filter, cat-back, race tires, and shocks. You could also change the front swaybar, but that'd be pointless as the rear needs stiffening, and you can't change that for stock class.

Just saw the boost controller post... congratualtions, you are now in street modified, racing against lightened, full race framed, blown/turboed trailer queens. Good luck, you're gonna need it.

 

nothing is around KY, plain and simple.

if you want to get some better times in autox get some tires.

 

get a grounding kit, KN Drop in filter, catback, some 14lb 17" Buddy Club P1 QF wheels, and some lightened aluminum hat rotors. =)

Those will make you accelerate faster

 

i'm just auto-xing for fun....i don't really care about beating other cars.

 

thats the whole fun in auto-xing!

 

lol i just want to beat my own time every time i do it. that's my goal. especially since my first auto-x event is next weekend.

 

yea, I like the AMS and Ultimate racing exhausts..... Im using the SAFC....

Yea, its all about the fun

dont even waste money on a grounding kit, it wont do dick. Go for the exhaust,fuel control(afc,emanage,etc.), boost control. You'll be happy! I dont use any grounding kits on my car and it runs 12.5

 

grounding kits work....
