man i love the idle lope it sound awesome!!!! 10inches of vaccume hahaha thats the best!

 

yeah I love it too.. odd thing though, my customers constantly ask me to make their big cammed car idle smooth.

 

I did a log before installing the cams and after... keep in mind the previous DLL dynos months ago were when it was very cold outside, it's very hot now, so don't get hung up on the numbers, just notice the improvement. I think it's pretty good considering it's a stock turbo/fmic etc... I imagine the gains would be even better on a higher HP car.

 

last week I ordered the Forced Performance EVOgreen aka 20G LT with the optional porting and installation kit. It should be here within a month.

I'm probably going to buy the Buschur Racing ported stock exhaust manifold and install it at the same time as the turbo.

Eventually I'll get their deluxe FMIC too.

 

Man i really like this thread instead of emailing you our tune do you just meet with guys and do road tunes becuase i only live a couple of hours from you

 

upstatescevo, If you are in South Carolina it is more than a few hours to drive to memphis.

But if you are willing to come schedule a trip on the weekend I am sure that he would work something out with you.

 

still waiting on the EVOGreen turbo from Forced Performance.. in the mean time I ordered the install kit and Buschur Racing ported and coated exhaust manifold.

 

FP says another 2-3 weeks on the EVOgreen 20g turbo.

BR says about the same yesterday for the ported/coated stock mani but today they said they don't have a date... I guess they are waiting on some cores to come back.

I went ahead and ordered the BR deluxe FMIC today, it comes with a better LICP and will work with the stock UICP so I don't have to buy a mini battery. They said it'll take a few days to build the FMIC and ship it, so I might have some before and after data with the FMIC soon.

 

After I got done changing plugs from the stock iridiums to NGK BPR8ES (1 step colder than stock) today I took my EVO for a drive and did a 4th gear log to make sure everything was healthy.

I'll list my mods because my Sig changes:
MBC, Walbro 255, Mellon Tuning Flash, Buschur TBE w/test pipe and bullet muffler, 02 housing, HKS 280 cams, ARP head bolts

I have a FP EVOgreen, BR ported/coated stock exhaust manifold and BR deluxe FMIC on the way so it'll be interesting to see what the gains are on pump gas. I think the FMIC is going to be here first so I'll put it on, re-tune it and find out what that's going to do for me in this nasty summer heat.

I thought it would be funny to compare my modded EVO8 to a log I did last night of a bone stock EVO9 Amazing what a few basic mods and a good tune can do

 

Everytime I see your results Chris it just reaffirms my good decision to utilize your tuning services.

 

I just spoke with Amber at FP and she said they just got an order of turbine housings in. She said I'm near the top of their list but there is 4 business accounts directly above me and they each have multiple turbo orders. She said mine should ship out at the end of this week or next week. I told her I'm a member of EVOm and there's is are multiple reports of people waiting 3 or more months and I expected to get mine sooner than that since I ordered directly from FP and paid twice as much buying it outright since I didn't want to wait on a core exchange to come in. She said again that it should be this week or next and that mitsubishi has not been doing a good job supplying them with the parts.

I just spoke with Jarrod at Buschur Racing and he said the FMIC shipped on the 13th ground, so maybe a few more days and it will be here. The ported/coated stock exhaust manifolds are still at the coaters and he expects it to be another week and a half.

The new brake pads are in, the Buschur FMIC arrived yesterday and Buschur just called to let me know that my ported/coated manifold will ship out today. I plan on doing the FMIC and brake pad installs Friday night or Saturday morning, so I should have some before and after DLL Dyno numbers this weekend.

 

the 280 cams sound badass!!! I love it. awesome car I gotta get me some mods.
