Shiv at Vishnu playing with the EVO X. Not bad for a car that has an exhaust and a flash… maybe the X will be better than I expected ? ![http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k43/shiv94506/CCI00042.jpg](http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k43/shiv94506/CCI00042.jpg) **_With additional tuning, on 91oct, it made a solid 310whp. This time we were able to pick up a bit of top end power. Now it makes peak power at a lofty 7200rpm. I’m sure additional mods (intercooler, piping, intake, etc,.) can and will help out further._** As expected, we could run a bit leaner with 2-3.5 degrees more ignition advance on the race gas blend. Boost levels were not changed. Clearly we could have gotten a lot more aggressive but that really wasn’t the point of the exercise. Still, 320-325whp is 996tt territory. This mildly modified car is already making more power on 96oct than any stock turbo’d evo IX ever did, regardless of mods and gas octane. When bone stock, the car made just 210-215whp on this dyno. Which means that we picked up over 45% more power on 91oct. And over 50% more power on the mild race gas blend. That is HUGE. I don’t know of any other car that does that without some sort of turbo upgrade.

as expected… nobody doubts the ability to squeeze out a bit more power… the real question is what happens when people start strapping big turbos on the car? will it hold the power and be reliable. ---

Good I guess… but shiv and vishnu are a bunch of dbags :tdown: I seriously don’t doubt the engines ability, but shiv’s bloated hp numbers are exhausting to read about ---

> [@sureshot!](#): > > Good I guess… but shiv and vishnu are a bunch of dbags :tdown: I seriously don’t doubt the engines ability, but shiv’s bloated hp numbers are exhausting to read about Most of the other tuners are showing the same gains thus far with simple mods, like exhaust, tune and MBC’s. I have no opinion of shiv personally or know a thing about him/his company. > as expected… nobody doubts the ability to squeeze out a bit more power… the real question is what happens when people start strapping big turbos on the car? will it hold the power and be reliable. Yeah, time will tell and so will some bigger turbo’s 😉 Jeller ---

Thats just enough to make up for that what is it, 300lb weight increase eh?😉 ---

I hope AMS gets one as well. > Below is a statement by Martin Musial of AMS (President, Head tuner and Engineer) > “Well we quickly bypassed the factory boost control system, which oddly enough has two boost control solenoids. We set boost to peak at the same factory level of 22psi but this time it held to 16-17psi at redline. Peak power now climbed to 265-270whp, that’s more like it! So now we’re holding roughly the same boost or 1psi more than an EVO IX and we’re making 10-15whp more, looking good”
