my hunt for 400
I think you're in the 300-320WHP ballpark. With about the same mods (except the magnus intake) I only made around 290hp on 91 octane. Too bad you don't have access to E85.
edit: even with E85 you'll only be around 350-380WHP.

your f'n crazy for me it would maybe a half an hour one way... like i said before i dont see it being cost effective... how much do you pick up at one time? lol
50 gallons lol. i moved from ny where it was everywhere to nc where its no where. Anyway im telling you converting is one of the best mods youll do
I'm thinking of e85 too but I now sold my DD and will drive my Evo pretty much every day so I don't want to hassle with having start issue in the negative temperatures. Maybe if I get the modded version of the ecu so I can switch between 93 and e85 then I'll do it. I currently have two stations within reach for e85 now
even with E85, he's gonna have a tough time w/ reaching 400whp... also seems he has a stock clutch. considering he stated he cant even afford to replace that dinky evo8 turbo, he wont have money for a clutchjob either....
lets be realistic... aim for 350whp

sorry i didnt list supporting mods.. a clutch is a given.. i have an exedy twin.. thanks!
I do not seeing you reaching about 375-380awhp on the VIII turbo. Physically, it just cannot be done I do not believe.
Get a BBK. It is Evo 9 turbo housing, just beefed up to run more boost and obtain power at lower rpms.

You won't hit 400WHP without cams.. The Evo8 non mivec cams can't do it.. Check out this video I made.. The car made 383AWHP w/o cams.

I would also like to reach the 375 whp range with stock 8 turbo. I am debating on what cams either gsc s2s or kelford 272's. I will also be on e85.
