I got Al's 12.07 pass on video. If someone can host it for me. It's a small file(181kb). It's an E-mail clip. Al didn't do too bad on Saturday. Good job Al.

Bro - thats funny ! You figured out my profile so quickly !!! Man its an illness - on my WRX I went through like 9 turbos and 4 exhausts. I do buy and sell parts a LOT

It really helps that the wrx and now the evo are so popular and the aftermarket is strong so you can usually recover most of your outlay on something you bought if its in good condition and is a decent product

I got a few things on the car which I will be improving upon and selling - - - but the things I did last week are all staying (unless I manage to get the hks turbo upgrade which i can't afford)

Thanks man - I am dying to see that video - the starter even told me my car was making an insane great sound - - - its the Quantum-racing header - that thing really makes the evo sound like a wrc

Please someone do some hosting !

I sent it - thanks for making that - - - I am SO angry at the guy who is doing the dsm.org timeslips page - apparently - I heard he may work for a vendor and he wont post up your slip unless you are using parts he is connected with

I sent in my slips two times over there and it never got posted - a tunning shop who works with him said that he posts their slips within a day

SO - I say lets get the hall of fame to be THE bias free accurate and respected 1/4 regisrty for Evos like the www.scoobymile.com is for the wrx

Thanks again

He just doesn't want to before the race, but I am sure he will after. I think it is unfair for him not to post on this thread just because he cant disclose anything for his competitors.

One more thing:



If you dont want to share your experience, don't bother posting on and reading this board.
Very Agreed! Evos have been making 600hp for nearly a decade now. High powered and quick Evos and how to build them isn't a secret. We're just asking what have *you* done. There are plenty of imported Evos out there much faster. I've witnessed a 10 second Evo here in Texas. The fastest car owners I know don't waste their time in front of computers.

Also stripped and 103 octane tuned drag radialed cars are all well and good, but most owners aren't looking for that.

I've found what I would be very happy with when I pick up an Evo and change a few parts. With a very modest budget, making ~325 whp on pump gas and able to run low 12s is more than adequate for the road courses I frequent and run around on. Plus it's still quiet, just as docile as stock around town, but with plenty of grunt when the petal goes down.

If you are shooting for some Guinness record of the quickest 2003 Evo VIII or something you've got a ways to go, but good luck.

Not sharing how you are going to run 11's is like a Mustang 4.6 owner hiding his secrets to 12 second success. The 4G63 has been around for too long, and there are plenty running 9's and 10's.

If you read my posts - you'll see I shared plenty of information with you all - from fuel pumps to dyno sheets and results of various other modifications

I share lots of things - even posting up pictures of my set up etc


Did you ever see my web page ????

http://www.pruvenperformance.com/alevo.htm

I think I have been a contributor here

That don't mean i'm obligated to tell YOU or anyone else everything I do with my engine

This all started as a funny joke to me - I was just teasing you guys - but now i can see how many closet haters there are abounding about here so maybe I will start to keep things a bit closer to the vest

If you don't want me to post up any more info on this forum then I won't make any more technical posts - no sweat -

I don't think you or anyone else can stop me from reading what ever is out in the public domaine - after all this is the United States and things work differently over here than they do over the pond where you are

peace
