We did drain the tank and added some 104 oct.
On 104 oct with boost spiking to 28psi I made 357whp and 376wtq (hiflow cat still on)
333 whp 298 wtq 19psi 91oct MD Dyno (test pipe installed)

Not all 91 octane gas are created equal... AZ has some of the sh%ttest gas. Some cars can take 20-21 psi on pump gas, but in each instance, we tune each car to its spec's. If it's picking up at 20psi, then there's no sense going to 21psi.

I just got my evogreen installed. Waiting for some good weather to get it tuned up...
Feels beefier in the midrange for sure, but I'll have to wait to get some dyno charts to be able to say for sure.

Considering people with IX's are making 415-425awhp on meth with the IX stock turbo, you are right, paying $1700 for an additional 20-25whp just might not seem worth it to many people.
It IS worth it however if you want every last bit of power with stock turbo like spool. That is where the Green is just unbeatable. The response, midrange power and torque is insane. I made 442whp/441wtq @29psi with the Green on a 90* day with my car partially overheating due to another problem at the time. I would not doubt it could do 455-460whp on a nice cool day without the problems I was having. With that said, on a stock IX making 420whp lets say on meth, compared to 450-460whp on meth and the Green.. well that might make it worth it!

A lot of it(turbo choice) depends on whether you will be high boost(28 PSI+), using hugh octane race gas at the track, and even what cam combo you go with as well as what ECM, intake and tuning option you ultimately decide on. Do you plan on staying with the stock ECU and running the factory MAF?

my current plan is this for track days
pump gas so im guessing maxing out at 24psi so as not to trash a motor on pump
no race gas no meth as it runs out
some tracks like pocono dont have race gas on site
watkins glen does but im not always there
i would like to keep the factory ecu and maf
i would like 400ish whp any more would be a bonus
im trying to keep it safe and within reason unlike my old 12.5 to 1 honda setup
that was a poor excuse for a racecar motor trying to be a daily driver
it was fun but wasnt really worth all the headaches it gave me
ie in 3 months - flatbed home 4 times, horrendous gas mileage for an NA car but it made 207whp(4mpg at watkins glen- SO IT WAS ALMOST A GALLON PER LAP). didnt run all that great on pump but it did and it was an animal on racegas...
i miss that little animal at 10k rpms
i would take suggestions for my IX but it doesnt seem like the green will be the choice as of yet

I think that your list should be in ascending order: either the EvoGreen, the 3076 TS, or finally the HTA 3065. Scratch the 3071 as it has almost as much lag as a 3076 and makes a lot less power. In fact, as a practical matter, the 3071 compressor flows no more air than the Green does.
