It only took a year to wipe the dust off your parts in the closet At least your parts came out the closet faster than you did...

f&ck them parts ill put that **** back in there. Its whatever to me. I cant be like other people and buy it put it on then go tune it. LOL i would have to buy it put it on then drive anywhere from 3 to 6 hours for a tune. NO SIR ONE TIME DEAL FOR ME. trying to knock out all the major stuff right now. The only real thing i have to consider now is to do a 64mm T/b or just keep stock and forget that part. BTW Yea Yahu me and Carlos got real cool. I like to say its my personality we clicked. Dude is mad cool now only if he would do my parts for free and quit switching languages on me at the shop then thats whats up.

I'm glad things are coming together for you! Honestly I don't think the tb is worth the $300 if you don't have it laying around. The only reason I did it is because I had $300 sitting around, jk... Is Carlos the owner of your shop? I hear they sell tacos

i know minus the block having to be cleaned and the stupid shipping he did it by and the one rod still turning out to be a sweet deal. once i get this rod thats it i just sit back and let them put together a masterpeace. im still thinking about the T/B force fed is trying to get another t/b and port it for me i just dont want to spend any more money on t/bs. Hows the Silver Demon coming along with new motor??

Check this out Rock:



Im not done yet but wow does tq ever make a evo fun.
that graph was made with 1* at peak and 8* at mid range
and 12* at redline

I still have lots of timing to add, at the boost that was done i should
have 600 not 530 but its a good start.

^ Looks good tacompusa. Does need some work and timing is fairly low. Good work though! Do you know when you are going to put in on the dyno?

thanks. ya downlow it feels like a beast then redline area feels like it falls on its face alittle. before i had 18* at redline and it felt like it wanted to roll out... so i will slowly add more timing and see what happens. i want to be careful as i add it since e85 can be screwy sometimes.

how much power you plan on making? you're going to love how massive torque feels man...****er spins tires from a 60mph roll in 2nd. god knows what a 2.4L is going to do. its fully spooled by 3800. i love the fp black.

I posted this to get rock motivated/excited. i believe he wants like 580-600whp and 500tq
