Re: wish i had a 3kvr4 :(

A BPU 3/S will put down around 250 to 270AWHP on the LSE dyno. So your numbers are in that range. But obviously the 3/S was spooling faster, so it got into the power range quicker.

The nice thing about a 3/S, is you can get to BPU pretty easy, and its very reliable horsepower. But it gets expensive after that. So if you want a sexy, reliable, Mitsu that can run 12.9s all day in the 1/4 mile, then a 3/S is a good way to go.

If you want an inexpensive Mitsu that has poentential for 11s and you are willing to do it cheaply but be ready to turn a wrench. Well, then a DSM is a better fit.

I'm an oddball because I rely on a DSM to be my reliable, daily driver, with very few mods. My 3/S is the one I take to the track and I'm ready to watch it break.

later,
Curt
