I want to see a typical EVO setup with a cam change. Or a turbo change. Or a manifold change. Just one part at a time and see if their parts work.

Just based on the types of dynos they are using and the correlation between the claimed HP numbers and a few times that have been mentioned, I think their power figures are about 20%-25% too high for what the cars are actually doing.

That doesn't change the fact they have some pictures of some cool **** though and I'm still interested in what they are doing.
as my clients in europe tell me since they are in tune with what goes on abroad " its all smoke and mirrors ".. Time will tell..

True, but the mph is nuts! Plus it's refined performance! You know that! Evo is a bad@ss car for sure! But there's nothing like getting in your gt2! Refined performance! Supercar!

Yes after a while you get spoiled by displacement.. I do enjoy the GT2 for the fact i can just step on it in 2nd and go right into 4th and get on the highway without having to wind out the car always.. its a different feeling with a 3.6L and of course the V10 lambos and 4.0L GTRs are amazing.. there is still no real replacement for displacement.. those big motor cars on boost are nuts..

I respect that, but from a 60-200 roll I think the outcome may be a bit different. The TTG is not built to be a drag car. But still 9.1@177 on street tires is very impressive.

sure its the gallardos race to 200 thats common sense.. still isnt in the 8s tho.. you ever try gearing an evo for 200 and finishing under 11k rpm??? 9.05 on skinny street tires is pretty amazing too.. remember gallardos can run tires 12"+ wide..

Then I guess it didn't happen! Doesn't mean anything to me, cause I never set out for 1/4 mile records. It was just for fun.

The point is you can build a turd to run 8s if you want. Its all about what you want and how far you are willing to go to make it happen. Some people like doing it in econobox Evos. Others like tearing down 100k and 200k cars and turning them into race cars to do the same thing.

pizzaman / Will - why do you insist on calling that guy out? that's the owner of dog box racing and yes hes gone 174MPH.. he does not advertise or say anything so no one knows who he is really.. his car FLYS..

i only know of him because he did the ghost shifter / dog box setup in Leos evo. (the guy that owns the first 1100whp gtr in pa)

Alex is one of the most honest laid back ''i dont care what others do i do this for my self only'' type of guy i know.

i love his evo too and from are convo's the car has the ability to do low 180s high 7s. he just needs that right day and some track prep. last he told me he was farting with the suspension some to help
