If he was anywhere near tennessee before texas which i think he was.
The humidity here gets close to 100% sometimes and heat index of 115 degrees. It is like having a sweaty gorrilla on your back trying to smother you.

There have been a couple updates. Just recently bought some FIC 2150s and installed them. They idle/cruise a lot better than the pte 1200s. Still in the process of the new tune. Went ahead and got a pretty good tune going now where I was seeing 520/420 @ 30psi. I plan to finish the tune here within the next couple days by work on the high rpm range. I think I have room for more hp while keeping the torque low. Stayed tuned for updates

Finally got an update for you guys. Well last weekend was TX2k11 and I was able to put the evo on Hennessey's Dyno Dynamics AWD dyno. It put down 517hp at 28psi and 523hp at 29psi. Here is a little video of the 523hp pull.

Today I went out to polish up and check the tune at 30psi. Here is the chart...

Clearly the numbers read a little higher on the dyno dynamics dyno.

Current mods are:
FP Black ported with 25psi WGA
BR Intake/filter
BR TBE w/ testpipe
BR Ported Exhaust Mani
BR o2 Housing
BR LICP
BR UICP
BR Mini Battery
BR Race FMIC
BR Double Pumper
FIC 2150cc Injectors
GSC S2 cams w/ beehive springs
Greddy Profec B-spec II
Exedy Twin HD
APS Twin Vent BOV

looks good Kevin, I think it should be mentioned that you're purposely tuning the tq down to keep the rods happy on the stock block

I didn't know that was you guys, I was standing around there at the dyno day.

Actually, did you park it next to a silver IX with an AMS FMIC in the field a little later that day?

Yeah, I wasn't wearing my mellon tuning gear and it was a spur of the moment thing. Sorry but I can't seem to remember what I parked next to. My evo doesn't turn to many heads because it's not flashy but I like to consider it a sleeper
