If i had 650-700 I'd race one not on slicks from a roll. I wonder if he would catch you.....be to busy trying to keep the car rubber side down. LOL.

Like a big turbo supra.

I have alot more power left the number will only improve when it goes back to dyno probaly in febuary since jms has a bunch of stuff going on then a move etc. the 2.0 has its place. YOU CAN REV TO THE MOON LOL!!! Im sure you have tons of evos around you find somebody with a 2.4 if not 2.3 and hop in for a ride. that instant power quickly punching you in the face often early is the way to go. NICE AND RESPONSIVE on the street for fun


MULLEN any type of racing is irresponsible boss was just using it as a example boss

What I want to know is: Evo with 2.4 Vs. Evo with 2.0 with similar power.
Who would win? the 2.4 would spool a little quicker, but the 2.0 can rev to like 9-9.5k
and turbo lag would only really matter if it was a roll race and would only effect the gear they take off in. I think the 2.0 reving to 9-9.5k would dominate.

sucks having so many options haha. I cant decide if I want to go with a 2.4 or 2.0 with a 35r

My vote is with the 2.0... less shifting equals more time to go faster... simple as that

2.4 seems to be more for my taste..
my black spools fast thanks to the tune but with 2.4 it would spool atleast 400 rpm sooner.

rock, your build is solid man and i bet you could get 620/550 out of your 2.4

i could prob. get 600/500 with 1450 inj. but i am good right now with 1200's
