I bought my car with an accessport, then got rid of it for an open source tune because imo open source tunes are better. My favorite part about the ap was the abilitly to datalog.

If you have E85 in your area that will help the most. It will give you the most bang for the buck. I have the Ultimate Racing exhaust and love the sound. Test pipe will be better than high flow cat. You can always throw the cat back on for smog.

As far as piping. I went all ETS along with the ETS intake but I'm sure the brand isn't that important. I have upper and lower.

But my first tune I had the sam type of mods you are looking at and I got 330hp on a dynopak, 350 might be high uses you have a liberal dyno. But it's really not about the dyno. It's how it feels.

But I would seriously consider E if you have access to it.

if your goal is only 325 don't waste money on a front mount.. you can get that with exhaust intake and tune only..... speaking from experience..and I have a high flow cat too.. i'm at 339/368

What cars have you had before the Evo? Mods are about improving what you have. Every car / driver is different and has different needs with mods weather it be low end, mid range, high end power, handling, brakes, cooling due to high temps, ect.

Would hate to see you throw mods on a car you just got and then decide you want to go a different direction with the car and have time and $ wasted.

I don't think the you can go wrong with the basic bolt ons like Intake, exhaust, test pipe, UICP, 3 port and tune. Those are just making the car the way Mitsu meant it to be but didn't do to keep the cost down. After that if you like, choose a direction. But I'm all for the "going all directions". You can't have a car that handles too well or has too much power. That's like saying "I have too much money" or "Too many hot Asain girls want me." Just words that don't to together.


There is enough into on the forums to pretty much figure out any combo you want. Just make sure you get good at reading through the BS.

I think people throwing out HP numbers without qualifying the dyno can be misleading. I don't think you will get 350 on a mustang dyno. Really not on any dyno with just a few bolt ons.

Dynos are too different.

I was tuned at 397 on a Dynopack with E85 and bolt ons.
A couple days ago I installed a EF3 turbo and AMS DP and was tuned at 416 on a mustang. Did I gain 19hp? Lol more like 470 converted to a Dynopack number. But other than the curiosity figure and a number to throw at regular people on the street asking "how much HP that thing have" all I care about is how it feels.

The AGP Intake is best suited to be used with the AGP Hard Pipe Kit because they change the BOV to come off the upper IC pipe right by the intake and dump back into the intake versus coming all the way off the lower IC pipe.
The AGP FMIC is very nice as well. Give Adam a call at AGP and I bet you could get a real nice price on the Intake, Hard Pipes, and FMIC in a package deal.

If you have the funds, then yes.

But I would focus on getting the car first and getting a feel for it.
