I only disagreed because you sounded like you were saying no DSMer would ever own a stock Evo. either way, doesn't matter. My fault for misinterpeting what you said.

my real point was that the IX responds very well to few/cheap mods and any dsmer would know that and would do at least that for a DD.

i think its debatable though whether the IX or X responds better. i am into my car under 2k for power mods and shoudl be ~ 100 awhp over stock once im tuned. regardless of which responds "better" - they both respond very well to mods which is a huge win.

mbc - $100
intake - $120
licp - $130
full exhaust - ~$960

I think if I owned my Evo AND a DSM...I would prob have to kick myself in the *****...oh wait I did...and what did I do...ditched the 91 GST with the quickness.

EDIT: Seeing sense I am pretty sure I will be putting new rubbers on the Evo, I am def going to have an all wheel alignment done. Something seems fudged in the front..considering these Khumos wore real bad from the inside .

With that rambling...whats the norm for our camber/toe and all that happy horse crap? I rather just go with the numbers, and hand it to them and say, "here..set it to this".

Dude. I stated cost aside. The price of parts is irrelevant. It was a mere statement about what you stated about "how they respond like nothing else out there." And tuning was NOT part of the equation. You can give the same car to two different tuners, and they will have different results after tuning the car. Whether stock or modded. And that is why I posted what I did about a car other than a IX. The statement was not a matter of price per result.
