330whp sounds great, and is an amaizing power jump for so few mods. It's also a huge jump and improvement over my 205whp.... lol

This car is going to be some much more fun to mod the my RSX-S.

My next mods are going to be a 272 exhaust cam, head studs, upper intercooler piping, Alky injection and reflash. At that point I should be anywhere from 380whp to 400whp. If I dont need it I am not buying it. With 330whp you will can be a low 12 second street car depending on your driving skill. That might be enough for you. If not then you can get your education on your evo on here and go crazy like I am about to do. It's a sickness. You will have fun either way
A 12-sec daily driven street car is what I'm lookin for, and I seem to have found the perfect car.

Hellz yeah my friend. Stock alone will be different. I remember when I first got my evo. It was everything that I expected and more. Something I value greatly is the handling. You find yourself doing stuff you didnt think was possible. Now my evo is making almost 100 whp over stock. At first I wanted a 12 sec street car. Now that I have it I want 11seconds 
Once you start modding you probably wont stop.
