We had one of our customers, Scott Balliet come in last night for a tune. Scott has a very nice IX with very min mods. He made great power for the small list of mods.

Stock IX turbo
Drop in air filter
Hallman MBC @ 25psi
3" TBE
Walbro 255
Spec-Ops Stock ECU Tune 93oct

 

love how these cars respond to such minimal mods!

 

Thanks guys, specops is definitely the best shop around. Couldn't be any happier, and I look forward to getting some more work done soon. Thanks gentlemen

 

Whats up with the weight?

 

Prob driver plus Mikey so weight has to be added to vd

 

Thanks for the kind words Scott. If you ever need anything else don't hesitate to ask sir.

That is correct, and a full tank

Mikey

 

I was gonna say unless you started to eat like a hog since the shootout I cant say you got that heavy

 

No problem and will do

 

Congrats on the tune man, we will have to run when I get back next month. It's Gerald BTW Scott

 

Nice results.

 

I know that,it just seems a bit on the heavy side

 

Thanks for the support! I remember when we tuned your Evo 9 and it ran a 12.3@10X on 93 pump with just a catback, mbc, drop in filter and walbro 255. Always like you chiming in........

For anyone that has a "weight" question, its usually myself, my weight is 230lbs, and another driver from the shop that weighs 190lbs who takes these cars out when they get tuned. Without fuel accounted for, his VD was 329hp/317tq. Better?

Btw, its tough being 230lbs of pure awesome

Someone must have been drinking with that last comment...

 

Hum... Your unprofessional comments are unwelcome sir. If you want to play those games, come to Fay and we can have a driving comp. Just to let you know Kevin Lawson, David Buschurs driver, ran a slower time than I did sir in our car at the shootout, not saying I'm a better driver though, just for comparison... We ran back to back in Matt's car and that by itself shows I can drive. Kevin Lawson has ran some of the fastest times in the Evo community. If you are saying you are a better driver than Kevin, I would love to see you drive a real race car!

Also my car runs a 10.2@140 on 28-30psi. On low boost I almost hit 9s on a day that was 90* on just DOT tires. I would watch what comes out of your mouth when you don't know what you are talking about.

Kevin Lawson from BR has offered to drive our cars anytime he's around and he actually has experience in running 9's and is a true professional in how he carries himself. Those are the kind of people we want driving our cars
