I didn't know Helix was that good, since NvsEvo show me his Cat delete.I just order my Helix Downpipe, Helix Cat-delete and Hks 30th Cat-Back . Hope it will fit together

It's okay luke, not your fault your were that busy and had to cancel the BBQ. It look like you're really really really want to cook . Next time, hope before I'm going home.

How much 600 Whp is in Hp?

Oh yeah, also I would like to poweder coated my enkei rims to Gun Metal. Do you know a place where they can do that? Do you think it will be nice .

whp= wheel horsepower
hp=horsepower at the flywheel
basically its the amount of power he is putting to the ground, which is the number of concern.
and you might want to look into upgrading that lower tie bar, ill have to look into it and see if your going to need it with the exhaust combo you got We can put that stuff on at my place too

A lower tie bar is a lower arm bar right?

FYI: The factory downpipe does not have a flex section. The spring loaded bolts (between the upper flange and the outlet housing) provide ample vibrational dampening. A flex sectioned downpipe is not necessary. But many aftermarket downpipes incorporate a flex section either to: provide proper dampening because their universal flange cannot support the spring loaded bolts and/or the piping is inaccurately hand bent so it requires a flex section to fit properly.

Damn I should post yesteday night a message !! I wanted to go !! well next time...

I never launch the car over 3000 rpm.
But most of evo's driver launch it at 5500 - 6000 rpm! but after the clutch smell like hell burn

We should all go a night for a try, never been for drag racing.

4500 rpm, once you feel the car start to move FWD give in WOT and realse the clutch fully. This is the best method, but it will wreak hell on the clutch, but it is safe for the drivetrain. 1.8 60' is wht you are shooting for when you get better then go for 1.7 or 1.6's.

The acceleration you did last time when the road was wet, it was something like that?
