Apparently, you and your friend know better, though, despite no results to show for it. I'm glad you're happy, but I was just trying to help. Many people "think" their Evo's are fast only to find out later that it's not as fast as their butt dyno was telling them. You spoke of looking stealthy and not being too loud, but you failed to look at my mods or pay any attention to my suggestions. I have no visible mods other than my exhaust tip. I didn't even get an aftermarket boost gauge until recently, and that was only because I run more boost than the stock gauge reads (1.5bar=21.75psi). There is nothing under my hood that is noticeable without a trained eye, and I only have mods that allow me to go as fast as possible for as little money as possible. It sounds like you share the same ideals, yet you don't care how the money was spent. That sounds like a contradiction to me. You want to be as fast as possible without being obvious, yet you don't mind that a set amount of money was NOT spent in the best way possible to get the most power, then after seeing that I tried to provide suggestions on how to do that, you try to call me ignorant? That makes no sense. If anyone is ignorant, it's you and your friend, because you think you're so knowledgable without any experience.

Feel free to go run a 12.26 on your current setup on pump gas, then shoot for 12.000 on race gas. I'll be waiting on your results. I'm also not "owned" by any sponsors. They help me out, and I help them out. I wouldn't ask for an EBC, because I have no use for one. It's just expensive gadgetry that does nothing but scream "hey, look at me, i have a cool gadget that lights up" while controlling boost for 3x the cost of an MBC. That's fine, but it certainly doesn't fit with your claims above...

By the way, more money was spent here than on all my mods combined, but you're guaranteed to be slower while also being more obviously modded. I guess that's ok with you, since "import tuning is an individual making a plan for his car and moding it the way he wants"? Haha, ok. The problem is you didn't make this plan...Lite SPD did...and he didn't know what was best, unfortunately.

I don't need it to light up, however I did choose it for its ease of use, flexibility, and convenience. I'm glad your evo is fast and that you keep mentioning you run 12.0 with race gas, but you should be running those times with your mods and the fact that you have an MR. NOW, here is the kicker. You bought a MR while I bought a straight VIII. You already have spent around 5 grand more than I have BUD out of the box. My future tune, fuel pump and cams will most likely allow me to better your times with less overall money (MR vs Straight VIII). AS far as the plan goes, LITE SPD knew what I wanted for my car months ago, but the mods came much earlier than I expected. Santa thought I was good this year. Fortunately, the mods were the best for me and that is all that matters. Not how I can help my sponsors. By the way, how could you possibly help Buschur Racing, BUD.
