There are some springs out there that’ll be fine on the stock dampers. Listen to Rubin about this, he and Pete are the most knowledgeable Evo people here, even with the Evo X. We know your research results suck ass, so listen to people who have learned over time. Your stock dampers are valved specifically for a certain spring rate and travel. Getting lowering springs will reduce travel and increase spring rate, so ask knowledgeable suspension tuners such as Robispec and even AMS. There’s a few things you should not be doing, that we all know you’re doing, such as listening to random Joe Schmoes about their opinions. Go with facts or you will fuck your car up. It’s that simple. If a majority of cars makin over 500whp on the stock block run fine but a few blew up, they are exceptions to the rule. Same with suspension people. ---

It does 13.6 stock in 5-speed trim, 13.1 with the $12k “6-speed electronically-shifted twin-clutch manual transmission” lol Intake, turboback, reflash, Upper & Lower intercooler hardpiping and raised boost to 22psi will put me mid 12s maybe lower if I go to Elizabethtown and learn to launch the car. Cant just dump it. Its gotta be ridden out. Not sure if the Ntercooler will help or not but the Dyno will prove that. If anyone has tips on how to launch this thing then lemme hear em Thanks H.

Hold on. I tried the traditional “rev it out and dump it” method. I revved to 4900 and when it dumped and caught, I was only at 1700. Boost (best I can tell WITHOUT A GAUGE) doesnt really kick in till approx. 2500. So I dump it that high and still sit in lag. Yes, lag. There’s alot of it with this car. As to be expected. Im hoping the intake and exhaust and pipes will reduce that some but i know it wont be by much. So I figured out I can get a smooth, climbing launch by riding the clutch slightly but I reallllly dont wanna do that. However, at the 1320 I want the best time possible. ---
