Camp Lejeune/Jacksonville Evos (NEW)
That's what I was saying to him. I was kind of on the spot when I met him and he's telling me these things. I didn't want to immediately go into "you're sooooo full of ****" with my responses so I tried to keep it polite. By no means did I agree with him though. I used the phrase "that doesn't make sense" several times in our discussion. He kept insisting that the turbo was ported, but I relayed to him that it still wouldn't make THAT much of a difference.....especially at 22psi. If he had like a 75shot of nitrous somewhere in his mod list that he wasn't informing me about then ok I can see that.
And yeah 11.3 at 129 is possible, but given the other information I found that one hard to believe too. With his power level (if he's even making that power) I'm more able to somewhat believe the et than the trap speed though. Although not with a 1.8 60ft.

you may want to do compression when u get those cams back in time bro. you can bend a valve VERY VERY easily if the timing is off. 4g63 is a interference motor
I don't know if anyone else has seen the yellow Evo rolling around here, but I finally got to talk to him. Here's what I gathered:
His car apparently makes 390whp with a stock 8 (9.8 hotside) ported turbo running at 22psi.
Apparently he has cams (sounded like 272's, he couldn't tell me what kind though) and nothing else and has revved it a couple times at the track to 8500rpm (he doesn't know if he has headstuds, but definitely does NOT have anything done to the head otherwise)
Apparently he ran a 11.3 at 129mph (with a 1.8 60ft) with said modifications and power level.
Planned to put a 4G67 block (I've heard of it, but don't know much about it) with an HKS turbo of some sort
Seemed like a nice enough guy, but the information shared with me seems a bit.....skewed. I know a bunch of people have seen him, but no one seemed to know him or have talked to him. Well....I have now.
And no he's not on the forums. This is apparently his first "tuner" car.

Paintballer..how did your T belt come loose doing the headstuds?? Where did you take it? Do you know it's off a tooth? Is it running like poo? Hit me up if you need a hand doing the comp test. I just did one on my car. It's pretty cake, just need a decent rental tool from the parts store. (free)
