My buddy was up at a dyno this past weekend and he got 240whp for his first run then he took off the altezzas and put on 7 tails and he lost about 15WHP on his second run?

Just tell him to slap a huge Mitsubishi logo sticker on the rear windshield and he'll get it back

Yeah put in an air freshner, depending on what smell it is, he will get 20-50 whp from this mod easily!!!

Someone told him at a honda meet that his wing isnt big enough, so hes thinking of replacing the wing with an aluminum one cause they are bigger and lighter. Hes hoping to pick up about 10whp from that. any suggestions?

No f the Mitsu sticker! Put a "Type R" sticker. That's will give you at least 20whp.

Why stop at 5, you can fit more than that on the car! Why not start pushing 1000+ WHP

If you are serious, maybe he just wasn't handling the car the same as he was on the previous dyno, or weather was different... other mods... it could be any number of things!

If you're not then you are a retard. Tell your friend to sell his Evo for a Civic as neither of you are capable of understanding what is going on in the automotive world. Or maybe just stop trolling our forums.

At high speed near terminal velocity, a bigger spoiler generates a flux vortex. similar to effects jets experience during take-offs

The turn signal fluid is lighter weight on the 8s comparing to other models. This could be your explanation for the hp difference

a little hydrocyanic acid might help your friend get rid of the problem.
