Funny you mention that. We just removed the front page links to our wins this past years Open Track challenge, One Lap of America and US Touring Car (well, second place actually). We've had them there for months but we had to make room for the big EVO-on-dyno picture
One of our customers, Bruce Brown, even won his class in US Rally running a car we tuned with a TEC-2. I've been heavily involved with motorsports for years. The only venue we haven't entered has been the drag racing scene. It just hasn't appealed to me. Never really found the point of deflating tires, running race gas, stripping cars, and running a big shot of NOS. I'd rather spend the day at LSIR
Cheers,

A stock EVO has already ran a 13.5@99.8 in the hands of the average owner, not a magazine, not a racecar driver

Also we already know what the 4G63 can do, the EVO has only minor deviations from the 4G63s we have been using for years making tons of power. How many fast WRX guys are there in the US? Most of them are posers who should have bought a Civic.

Can we see the graphs please? Also, what did the fourth Evo end up dynoing? Also, I'd like to know the mileage on the Evo's.

I seen Nasioc people aka newbies came here just to swear that this shiv, is a great tuner? The fact is that most of us here aren't familar with this guy and his experence with the 4G63. He definitly needs to get our trust before getting our bussiness. It's just hard to trust someone who would keep detail away from us for marketing reasons. For example. If our car do and will pull timing would he tell us the whole truth or hide it?
We have nothing against you Shiv, but most of us want to know if your one of us or some greedy tuner? What i'm saying is that we see no proof of any of your claims and if you give us more closer customer relations, i'd have a safe mind set to become one of your first evo customers.
Well, i have never done any business with shiv.. But i did own a WRX and read alot of his posts.. He has always seemed very open with his information..
Now realize that correct info is important to some people. And if he does not have the full story i doubt he is willing to release it.. All that does is make him look bad..
People knew he was going to dyno the car, so he had to say something.
But i find the #s very odd, cause my evo feels alot faster then 180WHP.
Maybe the FMIC does make a large enough difference.

Yeah, in this day and age all that matters is how cool you are on bulletin boards.
My car does the e-quarter mile in 9 seconds.

Does your e-car have a tube-frame chassis and a wheelie bar?

Although the lack of info makes it seem like bs.. I have no doubt the car can run a 13.5. So i will assume he knows someone that has not posted up the info yet.

What possible reason do I have to lie? Maybe I work for Mitsubishi. 
The truth is I got a link to this thread off another board. We've been laughing at you guys for a day or so. I thought I would come over and join in the fun.
