This friday heavens permitting I will get my hfs-1 installed, ebc, and a tune. I will post a dyno graph asap. I feel this is a good upgrade to prepare me for a larger turbo hta 35r, hta 3065, fp green that will show large gains w/ meth. I can get used to it while figuring out which turbo will be best for my set up. I'm leaning toward the green because of my cams, etc..

I just had my several things done by Kevin: exhaust, MBC, springs, and a tune. The car is completely different now. Kevin worked very fast and explained everything he was doing. The car is a beast. I can't wait to destroy the Rousch Mustang of a co-worker.
Half the cylinders+trice the drive wheels+KevinD tune=MuscleCarKiller

Thanks again Kevin.

I had kevin install an aquamist hfs-1, ebc, and do a tune. He answered my all of questions and even showed me how to sodder. The install of the meth kit was extremely clean. All of the wiring and tubing is hidden. The meth kit worked like a charm. I am now screaming through 3rd gear w/ my stock turbo at 27 psi w/ virtually no knock (a little phantom up top). During the road tuning my licp on the hot side of my intercooler blew off. He was able to get the pipe back on with my bumper on, no jack stands, and only a dinky screw driver. I have had work done by performance shops like Alamo and Gotham Racing and never have I had such professional service and installation. His prices are affordable and he did not try to sell me extra junk. I find many shops will look for add on sales and will sell you products you dont need. I over the weekend had a shop tell me that a ebc would cause problems with the stock ecu (so buy an aem ems ).

I recommend KevinD to anyone that wants to have work done on their evo.

I wasn't tuned by KevinD but I like Nissan2Evo pulled a C5 Vette with bolt ons last weekend. I am topspeed tuned though... so it doesn't count. Although, I must say kevinD did wonders on Jorge's midrange and low end. That evo 9 moves down low for sure man! And with his new setup... bye bye Mr. STi!!!

Start a thread when you know you're coming and we'll meet up after Kevin's done.
Could be something similar to the SuperMeet thread for this Sat.

i was talking to some guys at the track the other day who were driving eveything but an evo(honda, mustang, chevy,). they asked what i had done to my car and who tuned it. these guys knew who kevin was and even recognized him as a badass.

Sorry that I have not posted numbers yet I have been out of town working. I asked for multiple print outs of my three runs but they printed it all on one. On one run my car bog a little but the rest went very well. Unfortunatley they put the bad on with the good. My favorite run was 348whp & 340wtq I will post the dyno graph once I get my scanner working.
