Oh and uh... HI!

Wow. That is awesome. I really wouldn't mind a "street" car with 600WHP on pump with peak torque around 5000.

Although the nut-swinging fo DB is a little annoying. (not saying he doesn't deserve props and all...) Oh well.

I am also tired of the DB bjs on the forum. I would say this type of stuff should be EXPECTED from someone with his experience and time spent day in and day out on these cars.

Ya, believe me, I am grateful for people like him who spend time and money to make new products or improve others. And like I said, he deserves props, just not the blah-blah-blah best shop in the whole wide world blah-blah-blah. Anyways, I would be ecstatic if my Evo made that much power on pump and could still be driven on the street. That may be the long term goal for me. A few years away anyways though. Very exciting stuff happening though between turbo developments, these crazy pump gas cars, etc.

I dunno i wouldn't make it out like the guy is donating his time. He is probably making a few hundred thousand a year off of mitsu owners. It is impressive what he is doing but not ground breaking. He is using customers to R&D different setups and making tons of power. The evo isn't an incredibly difficult car to tune. Throw boost at it and add timing until it knocks.

The shape of the curve looked similar to mine. Except my motor is flat and inefficient and I am a hack.

So what does that mean? Where's my ****ing ice cream? ..... I mean nutswingers....

It looks identical to yours + about 200whp. I dont think he is running meth though.

right. i was talking overall shape. my turbo could probably fit inside his turbo.

the point was that if you spend time on tuning things properly, you can make them pretty. most people don't want to pay for the time needed to get things looking like that, and there aren't a lot of tuners that would want to spend the time.....

I am unsure of the next time I can get down there. We have been very busy lately. So busy, that I haven't even had time to check for my intermittent boost leak Elesha and I were just talking about getting out soon. We need a night away to relax and get a few drinks. Besides, I have your amazingly high quality t-bolt clamps here Paul. I would love to come down again and put back a few beers. It is much needed!!!
