Mellon Tuning EVOX build results
Let me guess who stackhouse is ... I wouldnt call it work we did there ... none of my software would ever get released.
Ohh yeah traction control ... why would I ever want to turn that off it works so well in the snow. Especially when working and taking advantage of the snow day.
Just got back from Mellons a few hours ago and he worked some more magic after installing a MBC and drop in filter. Ill let Mellon and the guys post the numbers and graphs. Its starting to become an exciting car to drive. I dont know why the X guys havent just jumped on this opportunity. I guess it takes 1 or two of them to get the tune and realize its worth it first. Well I can personally vouch that it is MOST DEFINATELY worth every penny.

Brad brought the X by yesterday afternoon and we installed the MBC and K&N drop in filter. After some adjustments we ended up at 25psi and began tuning again and here were the results compared to before when it just had a fuel/timing tune:
Brad Barnhill EVO X stock tuned vs filter mbc 25psi +15awhp + 19tq I suspect the stock exhaust is holding it back pretty badly at this point so he's ordering some parts soon. I think he's going to keep the stock DP and do a test pipe and cat back.

and here's how far we've come from stock so far, +62awhp +52tq, it's about +70awhp at 7000rpm and more if we carried it out to 8k

we ran a g-tech but it was almost identical 12.97 vs 13.01, I guess my driving was better the other day lol, but it was hotter out and 67% humidity wasn't much fun.

the difference in how the car feels between stock and now with filter, mbc, tune is flat out amazing...it was so slow before. It finally feels worthy of wearing the EVO badge

And about that snow day, at least you didnt leave it in drive like some idiot
Fair question, maybe if you can convice him that your
badges are just upside down "T"s.
You gonna get that exhaust installed already?
