Tuning my evo x

Ok so I have a 2013 Evo X and I want to get more power to play. Currently I just have the Cobb AP, Cobb SF intake, Cobb test pipe, and GReddy Evo3 exhaust. In the works I'm thinking the intercooler pipes, ams intercooler, and AMS downpipe. However after that's done, I want a bigger turbo and supporting mods. My goal is 650-750whp. Any suggestions on what to go with?

A built motor, AMS or ETS turbo kit, E85....and of course transmission upgrades.

For that kind of power bro, your talking about and entire overhaul. Your stating upgrades along the lines of bolt ons which will merit only 4-500hp at most. To get the power you desire you would need to bore/stroke the engine, massive turbo, e85 tune being an absolute must, upgraded transmission and differentials/ entire drivetrain, straight pipes all the way thru and countless hours of tuning. And even then 750awhp is a stretch. You do realize at that point your car is unstreetable in every sense of the word and your 15-20k in this.

Are you a dyno *****? Or a keyboard dreamer?

I'm definitely aware I'd be 15-20k into it. I definitely love the car, I guess I'm just determining if its worth it in the end. Thanks for the info, I appreciate it! Also, I've thought about water/meth injection vs E85 just because there's absolutely none out here.

Do have an end goal for the car or are you just chasing dyno numbers? To get to that power level your going to need some serious cash.

750....... just relax and stay around the 450-550 range. Much more drive able.
