Alfried, Im willing to drive 1/2 the distance to your whereabouts just to take a ride in this thing! Tell me some stuff about it, I couldn't find it in the posts....the internals, brand etc, stroked? Turbo kit? drivetrain mods..hows the tranny holding up? And last, videos! I'll come film for you, I've got a nice camera, Im sure you do too, but I'd love to get some 4 wheels slides and donuts on camera.

C-16 fumes wafting back through the cabin at a stoplight after exiting a cat-less exhaust is one of the greatest scents in the world. They should bottle that ****.

Although my buddy's 02 sensor went pretty quick after running that leaded fuel for a couple months and only driving the car really on weekends.

Al, what were your SAE Corrected numbers... As you know, actual numbers as you can have 50+ rwhp swings in actual numbers across the U.S. on any given day...
Thanks

Lots of hate there man I dont know where it all stems from. You may look at is as bragging but most people here like to see what's possible with their cars. You have to respect Al for constantly pushing the limits.

or you mean what someone else's checkbook is capable of shelling out..

Get to a Road Racing Circuit, and you'll find out more of what the Evo is capable of than any amount of money will..

Kill yourself for putting the words civic and evo together. Oh, wait...I never want to read another post from you, again. There isn't a single person aside from you who thinks he is bragging, nor is anyone jealous except the obvious person, you. Al, keep posting your progress and I may take you up on that offer.

I took a few local fellow EVO owners out for test drives tonight - wanted to shake it down with some full 4th gear passes to make sure I wasn't hitting the fuel cut or anything in 4th gear (nothing more embarassing than to hit the fuel cut in 4th gear at the end of a race your winning on the track and loose)

Anway - next time I am going to dyno this baby in 4th gear for sure - - it builds more and more power the faster you go

Running very well - all the Pruven race parts are holding up under regular street driving just fine and holding up with the nos under full boost

I love when people point out the Norris Designs car. Even I could make 700+hp with $100K. And then their engine blew up! Ha!

Don't sweat them, Al. I like ya even if your head does swell in your helmet sometimes...

No disrespect to Norris at all - he is a expert on EVO's for sure - I Talked to him on the phone a couple of times - he knows what he's talking about. BUT - I got ahold of a recent UK car magazine where they conducted a test of his car and the results were far from amazing. He was in the mid 11's - not that big a deal.

Whats strange about the Norris car is that every article I have read about that car gave a differnet figure for HP - ranging from high 500's to 775 depending on which magazine you are reading

I don't think I'll be challanging Norris for any HP titles - basically - I think I am done with my car where it is - its PLENTY fast enough for me and I really dont want to do anything further to compromise driveability

ALL I really have left to do is be the 1st to run 10's - hopefully ! And also maybe BLOW the ESX WRX OFF the road next sat the 13th !
