EVO AWHP record broken at the 2010 DSM shootout.
Congratulations to the Lancer Evolution mustang dyno champion, Mike Reichen, with his 2.0 litre world beater. Mike and his Lancer Evolution II are the multiple venue standing mile champion, 0-200-0mph champion, and now mustang dyno king. Pics and vids will follow. I also have a picture of the dyno plot, but will let Mike post that up in the Dyno section.
On Saturday morning, Mike hopped in his car and drove it from the hotel over to Buschur Racing. I ask "Mike, are you going to dyno?" "Yeah, I guess, go get me some ice for my intercooler, man" He says. I go grab the ice, then after he fills his intercooler, he hops in the car. That afternoon, Mike pulled his car onto the rollers of the Buschur Racing Mustang Dynamometer and, rather uneventfully, spun the motor to only 9,000rpm and produced 948hp to 4 wheels on low boost. He then made a 2nd run to back up the first, backed the car off the dyno, and drove happily back to his hotel, having beaten the previous Mustang Dyno 4G63 lancer evo AWHP record by a reasonable margin, and with a smaller engine. Unfortunately, on the way back his water pump let go. Sunday, with a new water pump in place, he pulled the car into the shootout. The motor had not yet been checked, and he spun all 4 tires through 2nd gear, shut down before half track, and coasted to 132mph in the 1/8th mile (the car did not make it all the way down the track due to shutting down due to difficulties). The head was warped and gasket had blown on saturday due to the water pump failure. Now, with some quick repairs, the car will hit a dyno jet very soon and take the dyno jet 4G63 AWHP record, as well. I'll leave the rest of the story up to Mike and the guys from Douglass Auto Works. The bottom line, however, is that the Evo AWHP record remains in Chicago, but it now belongs to a 2.0 litre 6 bolt Lancer EVO II. As always, 4G63 represent.
The 4G63, pissing in the wheaties of other 4 bangers and V8s for over 30 years.

The car has already made more than 1,100 AWHP on a dynojet it was 2hp away from taking the dynojet record when a cam angle sensor broke a few weeks back. Mike calls me and is like "do you have a 1990 cam angle sensor" and I reply "yeah bro, but I'm at my office" He was unable to take the dynojet record that day. The car subsequently produced higher HP on lower boost. How is this possible? Mustangs read "lower" than dynojets due to the inherent differences in design. As for the run that was 2hp short of the record, here is the proof. 
I'll let mike post the new dyno plot later today
