So let me get this straight. He went 12's with a couple bolt ons (pretty average stuff really). He then put like 30K into it (he was so proud to show the tally on his parts list). Last time I heard it went 12's with the mods.

For 30K I could build 10 twelve second DSM's. So basically you make a pass then junk the car and you would still have enough cars to run more 12's than eric.

My Evo had an awesome weekend. Saturday I got it tuned at CBRD (was considering Buschur, but I didn't want to take time off of work and CBRD gave me a Saturday appointment). I'm going to post a thread in the dyno forum and I'll put a link here (prob. tomorrow), but the short version is I gained just over 25whp with a a few pounds more boost. It is also a much safer tune than the previous one and I just want to say the guys (Chad and Caleb) at CBRD were awesome. I'd highly recommend them to anyone.

This morning I met a fellow evom member and picked up a set of Blizzak LM-25's and Kosei rims. Both look brand new. I put the Blizzak's on my beat up stock rims and got to test them out on the way back here! They worked great in the snow and on the dry highway before I got to this mess.

yes i do believe they come with the invisible substrate....which seems to flow better than a ceramic or metal substrate cat.
