You can achieve multiple combinations of numbers with different mods however you need to consider what risks you are setting yourself up for. Sometimes it is better to aim lower on numbers and have a more reliable tune that will give you some longevity. I spent eight years getting my car to my goal starting at 320hp -> 350-> 380 -> 474 -> and 515..

The higher you go the more probability you will have of something going wrong if your car is not built correctly. 350 is a very reasonable area to start and can most likely be achieved with a good set of bolt-ons. My Evo 8 had 320hp on my first tune with a TBE, intake, boost controller, inter cooler piping, fuel pump, and a tune.

Now, my car has a slue of different mods with two different maps set. I have one for 93 (474) and one for 93 + meth (515). Just take your time with it, do some good, logical thinking, and talk with your mechanics. Try to figure out what you want to use the car for, find out if that is reasonable, and go from there.

I know I have been kind of vague but I don't want to unintentionally send you down the wrong road. For instance, my car will never see the drag strip; I don't care what it does in the quarter. I have it for road driving in the mountains and some spirited street driving... If you have any particular questions feel free to PM me; maybe I can help you with some decisions. I am not the end-all answer to Evos but I can generally give you a direction to head.

Good Luck!
Josh

PS - I am not bashing people on the forum but don't take what people say on the forum to heart. This even includes what I said above. I have posted different questions in the past and had people suggest completely retarded ideas / solutions / recommendations. Listen to what each person has to say, think about it, and ask those that have a lot of experience on the cars. (shop mechanics are typically reliable but you have to watch them as well.)

Thanks,

If you are looking to reach a specific HP goal then ask you shop what it will take to get you there, then set your goals at that. Find a shop with a good Reputation and who knows what they are doing with Evos and get the info from them. I'm not trying to be mean just saying that a good shop will know what it take to get you there and they will assist you on your way. Thats just my two cents.

THEN maybe you'll hit 350+ whp.

its gonna be tough to do this on $2500 unless you get some killer deals. and if you are going for that excellent tune, dont be cheaping out on an e-tune(email). those arent meant for max power, but "bang for the buck". also look at my signature, its a good example of exactly what you want.
