How can Vishnu get 390HP with very few mods when the FQ-400 takes all of these...

As to why Vishnu can make more power out of a stock EVO, because with more aggressive tuning one shortens the life of engine components. Basically you're getting more power at the cost of longevity. Also the FQ has to meet emission standards .... The FQ is built to give you that longevity and power ...

Wrong my friend. The FQ400 cant take anything beside Shell 100 optimum (race gas)
I think its way under tuned for warranty purposes. I wish if Shiv can put his hands on one with Xede and see what the sucker can do.

Good point. They probably tested that the stock turbo wont live for long time boosting 24~25 PSI so they replaced it with something that can handle more boost but laggier. Maybe I am wrong

I think the fq400 is just like the "regular" Evo in that the parts can handle way more power than it's sold with. It's safe and warrantable, yet immediately upgradeable. In other words, I see it as not an upgraded Evo, but another - higher - platform to jump off of and maximize it's immediate potential...

I'm not sure if the FQ400 has a larger displacement engine. If it does, it can definitely make more power than 2.0 EVO engine.......
