ok given that number you still have the evo 8 thats almost 100 more at the wheels..plus AWD..i know from a roll AWD isnt as vital and it depends on what speed of a roll. but theres still no way a 222whp car is gonna keep almost dead even with a 310awhp car

I call BS to your BS! Funny thing is it is not that important to me and I am too busy turboing cars to make up stories about 2 cars that I owned and built!. I still have dyno sheets for the EVO in question from when I owned it but I do not need to please you that badly. FWD with a little less power will keep up with AWD car with 50-70 more h.p. just because of drivetrain loss and added weight of being AWD. I see you B.S. and match it! You just like to argue. We all think you are funny.

thats funny because i know anyone who knows about cars will tell you thats bs...whats funny is that you claim 50% more power with your kit and you claim a full second off your 0-60 times with a piece of plastic. and now your claiming to beat an evo with nearly 100 more at the wheels.. thats why "we all think you are funny." i dont like to argue but just dont post up something like that because you know have of the lancer kids will go omg it beat a modded evo! if your going to make a claim like that post a video... either your lying about you "hanging right next to" the evo. or you had a kid with downsyndrome driving the 8.

No reason to argue.... you cannot disprove the claim that it kept up. Why bash??

well "hanging right next to it" is still unrealistic.


^ENG its not a bash at all..it just sounds silly when he says that...now if rock says he had a terrible driver in the 8 then maybe i can understand that..but if he had 2 decent drivers in both cars..its no way..

True. Evidently, they do a good job with everyone getting so giddy for over-hyped products. Not gona lie, RRM had their way with me when I bought my RRM SRI back when it came out. That "FULL second off 0-60 time" had me convinced.

I find it funny that there are a few people that seem to like to bash every post about RRM products. If you do not like their products dont buy them. But there is really no need to turn every RRM product post into a pissing match. Yes it is marketing but do you think if they made crap products they would still be around?

I support RRM for at least trying to do something for our cars but in reality....their stuff is over priced....a black out kit is 179$ for our cars....CAI too expensive and 4.5k for a turbo system when you can easily piece one together yourself for probably half that or less....they are very pricey but at least they try i guess....

and as far as keeping up with an evo...that is a longshot...i know the EVO is AWD and mroe power is lost and its heavier due to AWD...but with my experience with both EVO and N/A lancers as well as with GSX eclipse and N/A eclipse...he would have had to be boosting more than the recommended level to even be anywhere near that EVO. I would say prob at least 15 PSI...and i wouldnt recommend that with our stock bottom end.

well look at fujita, everyone knows about there crap..but they are still around..and people still buy there stuff.. im not buying any products i dont need i have looked into a couple of RRM products before. but there is a difference between marketing and bluntly making your product look like something its not..and thats hang neck and neck with a modded evo 8..


and as for the post above i agree..thats some of the things that went through my head when i read the post.
