Our goal is to have a very high hp Evo while retaining some streetabilty.

This goal can’t be achieved because race cars are not street legal for a reason.

I dont think my dad was refering to the sound = performance. he just liked the way it sounded.
It was just a choice of which one we wanted. The sound was a bonus with the 42r.

I don't think either of those setups are "streetable" in the way 99% of Evo owners interpret the meaning of the word to be. Are you planning to track the car? If so, will it be 1/4 mile, cone dodging or road course type stuff?

Thanks Dan and Chris! It was nice talking to both of you. I think you helped us make up our mind and gave us more insite into what it was like to live with and drive a high HP car on a daily basis. I think what sealed it for me was losing the AC with the 42r along with the ground clearance of the 4 inch exhaust. Although I think I could have lived with that. Just would have to be careful.
After talking to you Chris, you almost had me convinced to go with the 42r! If only I could have the AC and 42r both ( got Allergies ) I would have gone with that set up. Great guy, lots of fun to talk to.
Can't wait to see some new vids from you.
Dan your very informative, helpful and a great driver. Oh and thanks for the tips.
Hope to see both of you at Englishtown NJ this year.

Yes your right. If you don't beat on it all the time and pick your spots to let it loose it will last longer. I think what we were refering to was if you are racing a lot at the track.

call me if you have any other questions.Hey Dan if your still online I have one more question. I was looking at your track vid inside the car and are you flat foot shifting? It sounds like you are at least after 1st to 2and. Like I said driving American muscle cars for a long time I'm used to it but I haven't felt comfortable about doing it in the Evo. Don't want to break anything.
Thanks
Frank

Yes I got it when they showed ten of them on the table and Eric said they were going fast. I was lucky.
Are you trying to get one? Is AMS out of them now?

eventually you will break something, it's only a matter of time!!! clutch's, tc's and tranny's are just not made to do that.....
