Hey, sorry for not being around for a while. Been busy as crap lately. Hosted a nice little UFC get together last weekend with a bunch of friends (most of whom own an Evo or two), then busted *** at work to burn down to English for a day, which turned into a day and most of a night. 
Quick info about the trip to English on 8/11 (PM'd ya, and will eventually get a thread going; let me know if you want me to remove anything):
I drove Mikey's car down to ER for a dropoff and picked up my car on 8/11. Car was all cleaned up for me; very nice of them to do that!
I noticed my car was stalling with AC on and also eventually AC off (coming to a stop). I head back to ER. It has trouble starting back up, and throws a code. Aaron clears the code, but the AC idle is being a pain (not responding to different tricks). He will research before going up North in 1.5 weeks so I head out. When driving on the interstate, the code throws again. I head back to ER.
I kept my car there and drove Mikey's car back home (I couldn't stay cause I forgot to bring my laptop to work remotely). BTW - Lucas texted me throughout the day to see how things were going, even though he had a lot of other things to think about while driving to Ohio for the shootout. It was good to see how interested he was, even before he knew of any issues. FF a couple days and the car is basically ready. Aaron is still working on the AC idle issues. It sounds like the cam and/or crank sensors were funked. I should have it tomorrow.
Big props to Aaron and the rest of the English crew. As you said Rock, I hit 525whp and 490lb-ft! I'm posting the graph here as the "world premiere" lol, and can remove that if you'd like. I'm really happy, especially considering this is still on break-in and I have other things eventually coming (open dump, possibly turbo housing, etc.).
The way I describe the power is "effortless." With the extra low-end torque of the 2.4L + the Black spooling faster on the 2.4L, it just doesn't feel like lag. I lost probably 200rpm - 400rpm with the red on the stock 2.0L and another 200rpm with the black. I'm now spooling 400 - 500rpm sooner, and I think I'm at nearly 100lb-ft up at low rpms! I haven't even taken it past 5k yet, and haven't used more than say half throttle (taking it easy on her for a while). Just sick, and I hope this will get you even more excited for yours!
If ethanol were closer, I'd switch tomorrow! After driving the 30 miles in the wrong direction to fill Mikey's car up, and then 30 miles back, there is no way I'd do that on a regular basis. Too much of a PITA! Anyway, here is the graph! (don't confuse the other lines as my previous 2.0L graphs, btw).

nice nice nice targed goal. I like the number althought i would love the tq to be higher in the 500 to be honest. I knew how it went down and made a quick reference to you but was waiting for you to post your glory. NOW ER need to get the A/C idling right. Guezz you drove mikeys crazy evo down there i bet that was a trip getting from his to yours LOL. couple questions first octane used?meth? head built or standard?clutch used?
No worries on posting the #'s previously. I figured some people knew. 
I'm not far off Mikey on ethanol regarding the torque down lower at less boost. By 4k I'm at 400lb-ft and he is close to 430, or so? He's got some tricks on me like them big cams, open dump, fuel, and I think a couple smaller things that may not make a difference. I'm hoping to have my dump from Eric once he is done with his project for Mikey.
I'm not sure on all the details right now cause Aaron had to run earlier in the day, and busy with the code/idle stuff later that night. That is another reason I haven't made a thread yet. They tuned the car on 8/9 I think, so I wasn't there to know what all went on. This is also just a break-in and Aaron has seen cars gain 20 - 30 once broken-in, so we'll see.
What I do know/answers to your questions:
- 92 pump
- spraying meth just to suppress knock (that last one had boost pushed obviously, though)
- I'm not sure what consists of the different stages of a built head. Jeff did the street/strip port to my head, and there are upgraded springs. lifters are stock, so does that mean stage2, or less?
- I'm running an Exedy triple
I didn't push Mikey's car. I'm not sure if I'm okay to drive it insurance wise, so never wanted to find out by making a scene. He also has some wicked alignment issues and them skinny tires; I didn't want to cross the road doing a pull!
I cracked the dump a couple times, but always shifted before 4k. That will probably help me feel better about my car! lol

this was tuned for 92. meth is only spraying for knock suppression (this is knock free, but just in case). Basically, I don't need to spray but it is all setup, I have a bunch of meth (especially when I cut it with 50% water), so it pretty much acts like a safeguard.
Meth didn't cause my previous spun bearing.
