Spy Vs. Spy article Dan Bajalis and Jake Montgomery Drag Mitsubishis

Just got wind of our article that just came out from Chris Wold and Tunerzine. I have been out of the scene for a while, making some major changes on the Evo. Well I finally put the finishing touches up with Jake Montgomery's help. While I was in Boise Idaho, we met up with Chris Wold to do some photo's and he wrote up a nice article. Check it out here http://www.tunerzine.com/view_articl...ure/spy-vs-spy

Thanks to my sponsors for helping me get this car going:

Stance Suspension
Shepherd Racing

Both cars are bada$$. It said the Evo has an aluminum exhaust? Al melts at about 900F. Seams I know egts can get as high as 1600. Does it cool that much by the time it gets out of the header?

Car is looking good Dan. Cant wait to see her back on the strip!

Jake: the 'ol DSM was looking good too. Too bad you sold her.

P.S.- Dan....I still think you're a woman.

off the turbo there is a small section of SS, then it is V-banded to an aluminum section of exhaust. It still gets hot, but not melting hot.

I took it out for some test runs, went 9.9 at 160 mph with some synchro issues. Going to hit the track once I get that fixed. It probably won't be till December.

Here is a recent run, as you can see, third gear was being a pain.

I broke the rear LSD in a 3kgt rear differential and also shift linkage popped off and messed up the trans. I got both fixed and went to the track two weeks ago and messed up the 3rd gear synchro again. I never had so many drivetrain problems, but getting them fixed one by one.
