Not to burst anyones bubble, but i think that's one of the ugliest engine bays i've ever seen. Too crowded and the air intake is just killing it all. He wont be able to hang with AMS and the other great compaines.

Every post is a repost! I think they're claiming 10s out of a 450whp evo (with little description beyond that). Their website is in its infancy (i'm assuming because there's not much info and it looks like crap) so i guess we'll have to stay tuned. You going to the White Marsh meet this Sunday?

The narrator sounded like he was auditioning for Pimp My Ride. After seeing the clip, I can't say that I'd feel very comfortable with the shop working on my car.

Imagine trying to change or even check the plugs on that thing.
What a joke.

That's where I got the crappy tune that I got on my SRT.....and somehow the PCM "fried an injector driver" on it's own where injector in cylinder #3 wouldn't fire, so I had to swap it out and put the Stage 0 back in, then they couldn't find the boost leak I had and assumed it was the MBC which it wasn't. In overall summary, the car felt slow and drove like crap when it left that shop, and they had charged me an arm and a leg to tune a safc, install a MBC, and a leave with a fried PCM that worked beautifully when it got there. Automaster=boo .

P.S. The funny thing is when I was talking to the kid that tunes the cars there (also owner of this evo), he was claiming he's going to break records with it, and take down AMS, and Turbotrix (then fastest)!! What a joke.

everyone has there favorites buscher, ams ,dynoflash, vishnu ,robispec. turbotrix (just to mention a few.). that's whats great about the evo and this forum. pretty much it's a bunch of nerds talking about their obsession. none of the vendors i mentioned make stupid videos about there bov. they back it up with results. Imports already have a bad name with domestics, exotics, and cops. these guys perpetuate that notion that all import owners care about is the whole yo yo yo attitude. i give that video a huge thumbs down.
