I'm gettin my Evo tommorow, and I heard that on highway is not as good as it should be... It's gonna be 03 Black, stock to the bone.
I was just wondering, what parts to add first so I can increasy the highway speed. I just don't know where to start... and also which laser detector works good?

 

That is a very broad question but I would start with:

1. 3" turbo back exhaust
2. Manual boost controler
3. drop in filter or intake which ever you prefer
4. finally get it tuned

Once you do that you will feel a huge difference in how the car runs.

 

Let me just say that if you plan on freeway racing, I hope you get caught...not trying to be an a$$, but it's "freeway racers" that give our cars a bad rep and have the cops breathing in our face, even when the car is 100% stock. If you are planning to do some road race (at a track) or some time trial stuff at a track that has a few straightaways, then it might make a little sense to ask that question. The 4 things that Brad mentioned will do a lot for the car. The only other part I would consider just for safe measure would be to throw in a high flow fuel pump as well. As for the laser detector...well, you're not always gonna be able to detect an upcoming cop...especially if he's not on radar. Good luck.

I hope you don't plan on racing on public roads. Not a smart thing to do.
Keep it on the tracks.

 

pffffh. highway race...
get a cobra ,u got a wrong car. Why even bother?
the Evo is not a highway racer, when this guys will get it?

 

Im bone stock too and i just got tuned on saturday and WOW huge difference. I definitely suggest that to get more power on the highway.

If thats your looking to do, dont highway race. Thats what auto-tracks or drag-strips are for..

 

Thanx for recomendations.. I just want my Evo to good all around... I hate when people say "well, Evo is good, but not on the highway" I love the car, and I want to make it even better... and once in a while, I probably will run into a STI or S4, that will want to race on highway... I'm not saying I will do it all the time.

 

stock vs. stock an Evo will beat them both- Sti is close though

 

We all understand where your comming from....but as a community we cant encourage people racing on the highway no matter what. I know it's fun but you have to be respoinsble with a car like an Evo. It's just too dam fast to be playing around on public roads. There are plenty of places to go to fave fun esp in CT - like Lime Rock. That being said I do think the "internet police" do need to turn it down a bit.

But I think your question is a good one. I've heard cams are good for top end power as well but I have to to put them in so I couldn't tell you for sure. I'm also interested in other "top end friendly mods" besides the common stuff already listed.

 

I thought S4 was good on highway...
but you guys seriously never did street racing?? I'm not trying to be a bad guy here, but I think we all have been in a situation when a car pulls up to you, and just waits for the green light...

 

every1 races on the street... dont be a hypocrite and say its bad....

 

I'd be willing to bet very few people on here have not street raced. That doesn't mean we condone it. Personally, I used to race on the streets with my previous car, but I got smarter and now I get it out of my system at a real track or auto-x event. Street racing is dangerous and we've lost a few members that way.

Aside from the basic power mods, also consider aero mods for increased top speed. A nice front under tray and rear diffuser will decrease turbulence under the car, reduce drag from the "parachute" effect, and also reduce lift making the car more stable at speed. Also, removing the wing will increase top speed at the cost of stability ... I would not recommend it.

 

TBE, Intake, MBC, Fuel pump, Tune. i got everythin but the tune. cant wait to get mine tuned
