Jee thanks, sarcasm is useful and also really needed when a person asks a simple damn question.
Did I every say I was DOING this crap? Ummmm I think not. All I did was ask what it would take...I never said I was doing it. Like I have a minimum of 10k to just toss into my car. Must be nice.. what planet do you all come from?
Get lives...seriously... Forums are for learning.. excuse me for trying to do so. Not everybody is a "I think I know it all" car person like you all are trying to act like. Maybe you guys think you know it all so you think you are above passing on information.... well you all started somewhere too. At least I have an open mind and am trying to learn something instead of thinking I know everything.
Its nice to know I share the love and enjoyment of my Evo with a bunch of such friendly, outgoing people.... Is this what Im doomed to turn into? An Evo owner who cant even help out a fellow Evo owner and rips into them for trying to learn??? Damn, maybe I should toss the car if I turn into you guys.

Holy crap, you guys are all dicks, for real. All she wants to know is the cost and what it will take. And as for researching it, this would be the place to start, DUH!!
For real, if this is what Evo drivers act like, Im embarrassed to be one.

look, the truth hurts. sorry if people from upstate NY like to sugar-coat things, but it's just not the way i've ever done things. if that makes me a "dick" so be it.
i mean, seriously.. how many ads for AMS and TurboTrix advertise about being in the "10s", i see atleast one ad everytime i sign onto Evom or open an Import magazine.
i'll refer you to an old adage that i was told when i was young, naive, & learning about cars and wanted the cheapest fastest most reliable car in the world.
"It can be fast and cheap, but it won't be reliable. It can be cheap and reliable but it won't be fast. Or it can be fast and reliable, but it won't be cheap."
but like i said before sans sarcasm and malice, good luck.

Your "truth" is based on me doing this to my car. Its not gonna happen... not unless I come into some serious bucks. So your "truth" wasnt needed..... as wasnt anybody's.
All I asked is what parts it would take and an estimate. That was all that was needed.

so if it's not going to happen, why ask?
that's like me asking a an LS1 board "HEY GUYS, I WANT MY CAR TO RUN 8's. I'M NOT PREPARED TO DO ANY OF THE WORK, NOR CAN I AFFORD IT, BUT I FIGURED IT'D BE GOOD TO KNOW INCASE I HIT THE LOTTERY."
do you see how ridiculous all this is?
learn to search, please. it will teach you a lot more than starting aimless threads like these. like i've said before, good luck.

I dont see what is so damn wrong about asking what work somebody would have to do to make that possible. I really dont give a crap if you think the thread is aimless.... then dont reply.
I'll say again... forums are for learning...exchanging information. Obviously you people on here have a problem doing so. So dont tell me to learn to search... thats why Im here.. to learn, from people who have the car and maybe have looked into it themselves. Ideally, somebody on here could have had a car that does 10's....who could have popped right into this thread and said "Hey my car does it, this is what I had to do and how much I spent"... searching done! Unfortunately it didnt work out that way...which is fine.....but the members here still could have been helpful and said "this is what it would take", but instead acted childish and immature. Sorry I didnt look for my information the way you wanted. World is full of disappointments.
One thing is for sure though... I most likely wont be back here if I ever have a problem or question. I'll go elsewhere...where I know the people are nice. This place is usless unless you want nothing but smartass replies and flack.

There's a lotta ppl here just posting up every part they know and want.... But not really... I mean, the stroker kit? Not really worth all the money or the trouble.. Might as well go with the NOS kit. But one thing I know for sure is that there is no way to break that 11 second (maybe even 12) mark with a stock clutch (and line)...
