First, this is what we had on the car:

BR full 3" exhaust system (weighs in at a mere 24 pounds compared to 60 pounds stock)
BR airfilter
BR MAS pipe
BR upper i/c pipe
BR valve cover breather
BR manual boost controller (19-20 psi)
Super AFC with BR air fuel settings (supplied with our AFC)
Autometer boost gauge
BR boost gauge mount
BR lightweight battery kit (17 pounds compared to 37 stock)
Very low tank of straight 94 octane Sunoco fuel

The car dyno'd 343.9 hp and 294 ft lbs of torque like this.

Tym made the first pass in the car and ran:
1.85 sixty foot
8.02 1/8th mile at 86.99 mph
12.48 1/4 mile at 110.99
Tym made a bunch more 12.5 passes and ran a best of
1.74 sixty foot
7.98 1/8th mile at 86.96 mph
12.47 1/4 mile at 110.29 mph

Then Kevin took a turn in the car:
1.76 sixty foot
7.96 1/8th mile at 87.14
12.42 1/4 mile at 111.20 mph

Then the old guy, David Buschur took one pass:
1.77 sixty foot
8.00 1/8th mile at 86.92 mph
12.48 1/4 mile at 110.74 mph

Three different drivers, NO COOL down on the car and we all ran 12.4's back-to-back.

Now what is important here is I am not throwing a bunch of BS at you guys. I have listed each and every single modification performed to this car. In my opinion there are some other guys out there laying down dyno and 1/4 mile times that are holding back some very important information. When comparing products, dyno sheets and 1/4 mile times from different companies I think, as a customer, you need to have ALL the information to make a wise choice. Forgetting to mention things like you added race gas to the mix, how you managed to run a ton a boost without fuel cut, port work, transmission modifications or messing with the turbo is just not exceptable. All of the information needs to be laid on the table and YOU need to be able to duplicate the performance we have advertised.

Cranking up the boost on straight race gas, adding different ECU's and such other mods to help us run some great numbers to advertise is only going to work until nobody else can duplicate what we are advertising, then word is going to get out and it is over. That isn't what we are about. That isn't what has not only kept us in business for 14 years but has let us continue to grow each year. Honesty and a good product is what has kept us around and that is what we are going to continue to supply you with.

Just to clear this up even more, these parts are still BONE stock and have never been touched on the car:

Front mount intercooler
Exhaust manifold
Turbine housing
Turbo
02 housing
Fuel pressure regulator
Fuel rail
Fuel pump
Cylinder head
Camshafts
Factory computer
transmission

I hope you are as impressed as we are with the potential and current performance of this car. To run the numbers it has run and make the HP is just unreal. Who knows where it will end up. For now we just want to improve on as many parts as we can without making it an overly expensive project. In the future it will develop just like the DSM performance has. Who knows, maybe my next Pro car will be a tube chassis EVO running 6's at over 200 mph.

Take care and enjoy your EVO,

We do have the Exedy twin disc clutch in the EVO. This is a really high end clutch that will hold 650 ft lbs of torque. With the labor required to do the clutch in one of these cars I highly recommend spending the extra money on a good unit such as this one.

The car could run these times on the stock clutch I think, actually I am sure it would since it has been done.

We changed in hope of getting the clutch to release better and make the shifting better. This was accomplished for sure, the car shifts much better with this set up in it.

Take care all,
David Buschur

This is the exhaust, filter/MAS pipe, upper i/c pipe & BOV, boost controller, boost gauge and mount, AFC and battery kit.
