last night i lined up with an evo,
from a dig we took off *what a rush haha* he took me by a car length. i thought he would jump me off the line alot harder then he did, im sure it was the driving on his part. it was a hot race, wish i had video for yall!!

i did get beat, but it was fun as sh*t so i had to post

Those evo's are nasty off the launch! You know what to do, mod that bad boy or give it some juice and find him again.

He must have had some decent mods if he kept pulling after the launch. Usually they will get the jump (if the guy can drive of course) and then you will reel them in like they're going backwards. 300WHP V8 >>> 235WHP 4 banger, stock for stock.

Get a couple mods and kick his ass next time

If you want to run another evo and video tape it and you're local to central pa (your profile says pa) you can run me, from a roll or dig doesnt matter either, would be a good time.

**Badbird** · 03-29-2007, 01:36 PM

the new evos have 285whp from what i read. i raced one from a 20 mph roll and it was a good race but he pulled me by about 3/4 car. that was when i was moddless.

**MikeSomething** · 03-29-2007, 01:38 PM

Once they are cammed, they don't have any top end issues...

HAHAHAHA

Hell no. Not even close. The VIII's dyno'd around 235WHP, the 9's dyn0 250WHP. Highest I've ever heard of was 260WHP, and those numbers were probably fidged anyway.

If you got pulled by an Evo from a roll he was definitely modded. Stock for stock an LS1 will destroy any Evo from a roll.

Cams or not its still only a 4 cylinder, and they still run our of breath on the top end.

Um...not really, just proving a point. If you'd rather from now on I use someone elses car to prove my points I can do that, but the evo doesnt die up top, it only does that on stock cams...just about every dynograph I've seen of a car with atleast 272 cams (hks or comparable) keeps rising to redline.

i don't see a problem with it. a statement was made. it was countered with a pretty good dyno sheet showing it not running out of breath on the top end. don't know what defines top end, but to me 6500 rpms is pretty much top end for a LS1 car as well.

Pretty much.

Whenever someone says anthing bad about the precious Evo, 4tun8 steps in to try and defend his car.

Anyhow, the dyno graph proves nothing. Why?? Because his car is heavily modded, with well over a few thousand dollars in modifications. With enough mods you can make any car fast. And an LS1 with a few thousand dollars in mods will be making a hell of a lot more power than 420WHP and 373lb/ft of torque. Plus it will actually be driveable on the street.

Gotta love the torque curve, 145ft/lbs at 3000RPM

Same with the power curve. Less than 100HP below 3300RPM. Thats why I'll never own a 4 cylinder "performance" car.

**Secret Formula** · 03-29-2007, 06:43 PM

Theres a new '07 evo that just came into my town. Im gonna have to give him the local treatment.

ok, i'll get in on this one. you first state that cams or not, it runs out of breath on the top end. then you say the dyno proves nothing because his car is heavily modified???

cliff notes:
even with cams, they have no top end
then after seeing dyno sheet, it doesn't count because it's heavily modified?

maybe i'm missing something here.
