Rock, are you ordering more parts? a Intake Mani will surely help out
LOL i have a PPI Extreme ported manifold on this car if your talking about a even bigger manifold like Mangus that would require me to cut things out linewise and GO SD or aftermarket ECU Count me out. I dont feel/want to have to deal with SD when weather changes and I dont have a Local tuner and i dont plan to learn to tune myself. You have to keep in my im NOT MIKEY I dont LUST FOR POWER on top of that MIKEY stated before his build he wanted 700+ and wanted to attempt to break the fp black record. I stated I only wanted 525 on pump so my goals have already been exceed with the introducing of e85 i have no doubt my pump gas map will be in the 500s but the more power you have the more new problems one introduces himself to. People forget the evo is pretty light with AWD 500-600 whp is WAAAAAY more then enough to slaughter a ton of street cars including vettes. SO why more you say?? because you want to run 9s/8s or just want a high whp number to brag about.

Thank god... If there was more than one of me, we would all be in a world of hurting. 600whp is perfect. That is where my car is on the streets. There is not really a need for anything more than that. I guess you are trying to say I am a lustful person

I hear you Rock... Some "Bigger" Intake Manifolds can still be run on the stock ECU.

As long as you met your goals thats all that matters. Im pretty sure youll want more power soon

If i did not have a things i wanna buy apt to pay for etc i would love to challenge your fp record but i would have to do single scroll blah blah blah. Stuff like that does not interest me. I just dont want to be the person at the car meets or shows living life on the edge without a built motor. long as i know i can throw any turbo on my car and run it how i feel like running it thats what my main aim is for so if i say screw it 40r time for no reason i can just swap out and run it not add a double pumper bigger injectors etc you get the point. I still need you to lust to clean your car up some man wheels interior enginebay love etc

Ill take more power if your paying the bill i have already spent thousands and you will see once I post the price list. I dont need more power I need more money LOL. The money pit is over. Only things i wanna add are

paint job(happening later)
Rota Dpt rims
CF VG
seude out some peaces
get back up front bumper

possible get built transmission and thats it. Car does not need anything else once its laying down over 600 soon thats more then impressive

Correct, no aftermarket IM requires aftermarket ECU. The stock ECU is good to over 1000whp. Magnus v5 FTW

I have one of the JMF race intake mani on stock ECU.....I mean I was. I mean I will be again. LOL

I have built a car on credit.......I will never do it again.

No car note
No CC bill for performance stuff.....thats why its taking so long for me to start building my car up.

i wont be paying for SH^%

You dont have to show me anything... I know. Building the engine alone I spent a good bit of change... I still have some other things i will like to get, but it will have to wait till i get back and drop the engine in
