Just got back a couple of hours ago from having my bone stock EVO X tuned by the great Sean Ivey.
I would like to start off by saying Sean is and always has been professional while doing business with him.
Up until today i used to have a X but my Mitsu morphed into an EVO in about 3 hours.
Redline was bumped up to 8000 rpms, 2 step is set at 5900 rpms and boost is set at 25lbs tapering down.

Anyway onto the numbers.

Here is my baseline pulls:

1st: 270.25whp 279.41 ft. lbs.
2nd: 264.52whp 275.68 ft. lbs.

Heres where it was when it was all finished:

313.68 whp 317.65 ft. lbs.

BONE STOCK!!!!

I will be posting up the dyno sheets as soon as my scanner starts working.

 

Holy smokes! So I guess you will no longer be trading it in for a IX? Haha...how does it it drive?

 

wow! stock? You can feel the difference huh?

 

Yup. 50 whp seems to be about right for these cars with just a flash.

 

3 hours??? Is that the norm!

So when are you trading it in for the 9?

Congrats

 

Those are great numbers.

 

one thing about Sean is that he takes his time when dynoing...he wants all the A/Fs flat and safe and takes the time to do so...I think when dynoing my IX he made over 25 pulls with time to cool and tweak between runs...
once i get my new toys i will redyno once again with him...I feel his tunes are much better than anyone elses and he takes the time to get it right the first time

 

I didnt expect those numbers stock or tuned. Iam quite surprised how much it did stock and the gains i got from just a tune.

 

I agree, they are impressive numbers, however, they are just numbers. Does it feel like a different/faster/better car? I know I sound skeptical (I'm not doubting Sean's ability to tune at all), but I have been debating on getting a tune and want to make sure that its worth the $$$ since my car is stock as well.

 

As am I!!! I still think you are going to sell it!!
Pleasure dealing with you man, let me know what else we can do for you.

Sean

 

You feel it bigtime! Especially when the cars don't have the dealer reflash, this one baselined higher than any I have done yet, must be Hova's breakin procedure, he can elaborate on that.

The stock car feels lazy, this wakes it up.

This car pulls all the way to the 8000 rpm redline without any hesitation. I went to a back road that i frequent around me and lets just say last night i was going maybe 80 in certain areas and tonight i was pushing 100mph. It is faster, smoother and all around a better performing car because of Mr. Ivey's tune.

 

You know me I need something that runs 11's all day. Glad i could check out your new place. Hopefully we will catch up at E-town in two weeks.

 

Nice! Just what your X needed. Add a few more parts and now we're talking!

 

Great numbers. I'm curious, you had the car at around 265~270whp stock and you felt that it was sluggish?
