Daddio ran 104 octane in his car, tuned for 100. He also had cams, huge front mount, turbo upgrade, 4.11 final drive, AEM EMS, etc. Tuned by AMS.
Sooo that 350-375whp number is probably about right for a IX, an 8 may see 350 whp, but with less are under the curve. But the 8 will have to be fully built (FMIC, IM, EM, etc).
I think it would be interesting on asphalt, but rough on concrete. Wasn't Collett (sp?) blazing fast in ASP last year at Nationals?
Also a note on E85, this is a very geographically dependent fuel and last I checked it's impossible to find in the northeast. Too bad for us.

The other thing that deters me from E85 is the changes you have to make to your fuel supply (including more fuel-pump capacity, bigger injectors, materials changes, etc).

There are two places to get E85 in the Boston area, but both of them highly inconvenient to almost everyone (the warehouse district of Chelsea, and Logan airport).

That's good to know, thanks. What do people recommend for injectors? I assume you just need more capacity, right? What flow rating is the minimum recommended for an Evo 8, assuming I want to take full advantage of E85 within BSP rules?

Multiple **** members run in our region and caught wind of our latest dynapak dyno numbers. One of those **** members rode in the car on the street after we put the new engine in. apparently we should be more discreet.

Is the "new" engine the one you dropped in after breaking a ring land last year or did you guys go full bore and do the overbore + forged pistons route?

Dynapak's read notoriously high though. If there are guys getting 400 (or close to it) on a DD or MD then that's crazy power.

no we had a tuning glitch and vented the block. so we did a used engine drop in.

Someone on SCCA Forums posted a link to an Evo 9 drag race build that seems to be BSP legal that made 400whp on a MD and ran a 10.88. The time seems to jive with a 400whp motor, but I don't see how you pull 400whp or a 10 sec 1/4 mile out of a stock internal motor.

Too bad they couldn't wait a year with Nats being on concrete to even it out for the C4s and M3s. Look how fast Simanyi's M3 was before it had a full SM build. Also the 2 drag starts on each course were prob worth a full sec advantage for the Evo over a normal start corner design.
A lot of Evo hate history in SP since day one.
