Congratulations Al. Very well done in the kind of Evo we all want to have...a full-interior daily driver. You've made the dream go into the 9's without NOS!?! Just one thing we all want to know:
what's your next move?

) slow start. Al, what was the 60' time?Edit: I just read somewhere else it was a 1.5 60'

I got a 4.2 330'
Basically it was my fastest 60' time ever and not bad for a car weighing 3300 lbs with me in it
I credit the exedy clutch for keeping everything totally smooth and not breaking any parts

Then after that I will be installing the GT40R turbo and shooting for 750 whp
This "hobby" is very addcitive and unhealthy is all I can say - as soon as the car is running good and going fast its time to immediately tear it al apart and try and go even faster !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I take baby steps with this car - one step at a time to help me learn more infomation to expand my skill and knowledge in evo modifications. This way, if I make a small miscalculation it is always very easy to back track to the previous set up and try again. While my method takes a long time to get results, you get a lot of valuable data and experience doing it the slow and methodical approach and as a side benefit I have a bullet proof car which is super reliable.
Its very alarming actually the way I immediately started trying to figure out how to go faster after I went 9's - I think that I was already making plans on my way down the return road.
I have some in car videos that I would like advice from some of the members on how and where to host them - thanks

My big goal for now is to try and get up a picture of my new turbo which looks ideal a divided housing GT40R twin ball bearing turbo
It will be nice to see a 150 mph trap speed without nos
Maybe a inhanced roll bar is also in my future plans?
