High Mileage Modded EVOs
03, 32k, 410 whp on 91 & 510 whp on C16. Lot of drags, occasionally tracks. Bye bye 2 clutches. Transmission acting up at the drag (cannot shift fast at high rpm, some drivetrain noise when launch hard) but drive fine on street. That's about it... Oh! I love the car.
'03 - Owned 3 almost years (from new) and very well maintained. Currently the car is at about 38K. The car has been at about 300 whp (Mustang dyno) for almost 2 years and about 20K miles - It's been at least minorly modded since about 5K miles. Probably 30+ track days. Was trouble free until about three weeks ago.
The car is currently off the road and needs an engine rebuild - I haven't pulled it apart yet, but when it went it sounded like both the top-end and bottom end started ticking all at once. My guess is that either the oil pump went soft or something let go in the bottom end and allowed the oil presure to drop slightly. The car let go while just driving down the freeway at about 70 mph - just relaxed commuting, I hadn't pushed the car at all that day.

Bought my 03 in 08 with ~72k miles I think, pushing 340hp. Now have a BR stg iii block and head pushing ~380hp I think with a little over 100k miles now. I also think I'm pushing 28psi now vice the 24psi it was tuned at. Not a single problem except a blown transfer case. I love this car.
bought mine in 03 with 39k couple boltons 287 285 tq for about a year, then next year needed more mods bad turbo and #3 cyl at around 52k, so built engine on fp red pump 385 hp 355 tq for 30k, now its goin under the knife, got better cams better flow mods, and is goin on the dyno next week, would be nice if they can squeeze another 100 hp, with my improvements haha, but should be around 420 -450 on 91 cali octane.
