Good grief fp green/red!!!!!
^^^ There is a post a few down from yours about the heat sheild getting so hot it melted wires behind it. I believe he has and aftermarket manifold. If you look at AMS's 750 kit. It has some serious heat shield going on there. I haven't seen an aftermarke manifold offer that yet. I would just personally stay away from it. Not worth 10 extra ponies compared to a ported stock manifold for me. Electrical issues in my book = trade in.

I just got off the phone with a buddy that was actually saying thr same thing!!!!!That's blows!!!!!!I really wanted to get a manifold!!!!!A good heat coating and a heat wrap at the same time plus a heat shield wouldn't protect the nearby equipment!!??
.. Awesome turbo

Bottom line is Green= faster spool and not as much whp SAFELY as red....red= quick spool (not as quick as green but still can be fast) more whp than green SAFELY....what do you want? TQ and spool or whp numbers? That is what is seems like your choice is about. And like spaz said...regardless of what you get and how its tuned...sh*t happens! you have to pay to play!

here you go. Gates FPred vs a stock GSR dyno. This was on a 08 I believe and the FPred is a JB one. Makes good reading over all. post #26

No...to make the same whp on a green w/ pump gas would not be safely done in my opinion. Highest whp greens I have seen out there are like 450-470 or so on E85. Plain and simple...anything outside of of BASIC bolt-ons (i.e TBE, intake, IC etc) you start messing with true reliability, green or red. I don't care who your tuner is and how you baby your or anything else you have to say about modding your EVO or any other car for that matter. Once you really start pushing the car by factory settings/parts/limits...**** can happen and warranty no longer covers/PIA to get it covered. Like I said...you gotta pay to play...lol

[QUOTE=Spazpilot;10366325]here you go. Gates FPred vs a stock GSR no mad dyno. This was on a 08 I belive and the FPred is a JB on. Makes good reading over all. post #26
Yeah I have read that before...I have driven in a green and the thing moves like a raped ape!!! Sadly I have not had the chance to ride in a red so I can not compare. The spool comparisons that most people get are from this forum more than likely. I myself am honsetly making that comaprison becuse of all the reading for my turbo upgrade in the furture. I would have to say that the main notion for the Red is awsome numbers but laggy. But as always there are things such as that thread that can prove you wrong I guess.
