Wow. That is great. I think I will give JMS some business for my tranny as well. Did you get the higher EVO9 1st gear and 4th gears?

I do wish I were closer to San Antonio, my friend as I would drop my EVO off in a heartbeat. I take leave in March and need to get some major work done and it is tough finding a shop that I trust in Arizona.

You have several very good shops in Phoenix. I have a friend that lives in Phoenix that has a shop he trusts and he is as picky as they come. I think the place is Dynocomp.

Edit: adding website http://dyno-comp.com/

Mine is good. I added a COP kit and a set of Bilsteins with Swift springs. COP kit was def a great investment. Bilstein have a very fluid ride quality, but the Swifts are somewhat compromised the suspension geometry though they ride nice. Some mild cams, roll center kit, bump steer kit are next on the list. I'm also trying to figure out how to buy another set of used Advan RZs without pissing off my wife.

My goal for this car is to make it seem like stock, but with 400whp. Getting 400whp and making it seem completely stock is somewhat challenging.

Levar, you should buy your wife the Evolander that AMS is selling for $25k in the other cars section.

First off, there is no way that I am buying my queen that joker. She is more of a BMW M3 or C-Class woman. I support those efforts of hers but her focus right now is to buy a house. We need to settle down first.

I plan to buy a COP within the next day or two as I have one more large parts shipment to get and then I will be all done. Right now, I am on the fence between the 2.1L or 2.3L so until then, I will be happy with 500whp and 400wtq on the stock block.

It is good that you are still building a pretty clean EVO. I do not see how you can stay at 400whp with the HKS turbo you have. Do explain.
