I wouldn't trust 'two weeks' from FP ever. They make awesome products, but there's a reason I bought a BBK (well, several).

400whp on a street car is perfect imho, more than that and you're starting to just get silly, start chasing numbers, and spend a lot of money. I wish you would have just kept the red until you had the black in-hand (or in transit), making a ton of changes all at once is never a good idea (IMHO).

I honestly had no intentions of really changing my car for a while, i was happy with it, it still wasn't perfect, but i was happy. The motor blew up so I didn't have a choice but to upgrade it some since I had to spend a lot of money on labor anyway.

The only reason I changed out from the red to the black was because i had to pay for the turbo swap in a sense already, so I was trying to piggy back costs. Personally i think I could've hit 475whp with my build on the red with the head work, new cams, new bov etc. But I knew it would only be a matter of time before i wanted a bit more. This build will put me as far as I go though. I think

China's using up all the shipping means by importing corn by the container-shipful

Regular. But it is a lighter car and it used to feel like the top end was a lot better, not so much anymore.

turbotalon1g · 07-08-2010

You are growing a butt dyno. Sometimes its good sometimes its bad.

**Murlo26** · 07-08-2010

Honestly I'd say bad, makes all cars feel slow. I am not as easily wowed.

This further adds to my desires to upgrade to get more power.

We could nitrous the honda with a fiddy shot, that fucker would hit hard and be safe.

H22 plus 100+ shot ftw.

I don't think mine is the H22, maybe it is, lol. It is a 2.2L but its a non vtec one. it is such a dog its laughable, i can't pass people if i want to.

100 shot still wouldn't be stock evo fast I bet, lol.

turbotalon1g · 07-08-2010

The nitrous hit is awesome, you won't know what I'm talking about until you try it.

I must be underestimating your evo a bit too, I've only been in scheides X and I think fully loaded each time.

Hopefully you don't have to wait as long for a wheel and a housing as I did!

Also daily driving the car will make it feel slow no matter what power level I think. Don't drive it for a while and then go take a girl out for a ride and when she giggles you'll think its a little fast again.

Wait if she giggle when she rides it and it's because it was fast...that is bad i thought?

My gf just laughs a little bit if she hasn't been in the car for a while and I do a 2nd through 4th pull. Its kinda like that roller coaster feeling

turbotalon1g · 07-08-2010

I got a ride for girls to go on, they usually don't giggle though.

**Kracka** · 07-08-2010

Gotta hit 'em like a jackhammer.

turbotalon1g · 07-08-2010

Oh, i thought we were talking about something different.

Yeah, its good when they giggle in teh car, my lady gets a smile on her face like something good is gonna happen.
So far though she is the only girl i know that gets mad if she misses a race.

**Murlo26** · 07-08-2010

At first I was talking about cars, then I jokingly switched, i think it was overlooked, lol.

**goodhart** · 07-08-2010

Aaron you lucky bastard, my Wife gets all car sick and pissed off when I go to pass someone in the slow ass WRX haha
