i agree. your 10.90 goal shouldn't be that hard to accomplish either as long as you can drive. things will break though while you're trying to get that time though unless you bullet proof the car with shep trans, tcase, etc etc.....

edit: high 10 car will make for a hell of a roller coaster ride on a road course.

yup. shep FTW. shep has the best customer service and makes the best products possible for our cars. I'll have my tranny rebuild as soon as i get done mutilating my 3rd gear syncro.

you can have it lol. i might get sheps trans and tcase most likely not. No real point the OEM tanny and tcase are beast and we all know it is drive the car like its ment and your built it for and your be ok launching like a jacka$$ etc will get parts broke. and a 35r is a waste of money to me the red can do 637 on c16 from what we have seen thats hella lot of power for a stock frame I dont want or need a 700whp car i dont want aggressive idle and fear of crap breaking just cause its to much juice most evos over 650 start to break everything at that point its just a gold digger no room for that in my life lol

worried about surge LOL port the hotside problem solved or you can buy the houseing for 300 if it means that much to you. personally think its a waste of funds. its all in the tune plenty of reds with no surge Tuner very important

eww 64mm!!!! you wont get no jet fighter plane noise from that version still will produce the same HP numbers though and look dead stock. The only thing i dislike about the 80mm is you cant bolt down your waterpipe lines so the one pipe just hangs there over the compressor.

the tcase/ tranny on evo is pretty weak actually man. if you want to run 10's you're most likely going to need the tcase and tranny done by shep. the tranny only cost $1100 im not sure what the tcase cost. the rear diff can take a **** also, so can the driveshaft. these are the weakest parts on the evo. from what i understand you want something that can hit 10.9's then go and beat it at a road course and maintain reliability, thats definitely going to need shep trans, maybe not the tcase but they say the tcase is the weakest link in the entire drivetrain.
