Quickest/Cheapest way to get an Evo 8 to 300-350hp?

Quickest/Cheapest way to get an Evo 8 to 300-350hp? Simply im using it as a quarter mile and daily driver. Obviously a TBE and reflash is comming shorty. Im just curious as what to do other then this. I have a problem of not being close to a shop I would trust with working on my EVO so I'm going to have to look into a mail in flash. Any Suggestions on any of these items? Thank you

Others will tell you to search since its so common to know how to get there, but I'm in a good mood:

TBE
MBC
Cams
Flash
Fuel Pump
JDM MR DV/IX DV

those mods wont do it on an evo 8 it also depends on the dyno the cams and the gas used. You can reach 350 on an evo 8
with

intake
tbe no cat
cams 272/280(better)
jdm bov
mbc

and some race gas

+1 ^^ just make sure if its an 03-04 then get the 10.5 hotside and O2 housing... If 05 then you will be okay... also look into a good LICP.. GL

Cheapest way is to drop the exhaust or get a cutout, get some nitrous, get a manual boost controller, and get tuned for racegas. Oh and weight reduction.

The cheapest way to have a fast daily driver in good condition is:

TBE
Tune
MBC
IX DV
Cams
Walbro 255 FP

Throw race gas in at the track, and turn the boost up.

Don't listen to what everyone on here says; you DON'T need intake, and you DON'T want to waste money on alky injection if you are trying to spend the least amount of money as possible.

But if you have a few more bucks to spend, invest in the alky injection, and a LICP; then get a good custom tune. That would be over 350 whp.

If you want to know the truth about what it takes to get there to 350 whp research AMS stages

www.amsperformance.com

that will give you a breakdown of what you would need.

or bushur racing

1) Saying "HP" means crank horsepower, and you could argue that the 05/06 Evos already have 300 crank HP. It takes almost no mods to get 350HP, but then again there's no way to verify it's 350HP without an engine dyno, so the question has no merit.

2) 300-350 is a huge gap. It is a lot harder to get 350 than it is to get 300, so which one is it? You can't give a 50HP (or WHP) gap...

3) Any of this really depends on what year you have and the octane you use.

4) Seriously, how hard is it to search first?
