I'm about to finally get my Evo tuned. Here's the skinny on it:
03 GSR with 113k
-BC 276 cams and single valve springs/Ti retainers
-ARP head studs
-stock bottom end
-ETS FF turbo kit with the Xona Rotor 7864 turbo
-TiAL wastegates and BOV
-ETS 4" FMIC kit with custom Ti upper intercooler pipe
-STM trans mounted catch can
-FIC 1650cc injectors
-Custom billet intake manifold (not pictured as I don't have it yet :p )
-Exedy HD twin
-Boosted Fab front crossmember
-Radium double pumper with two Walbro 450's
- -8AN feed, Radium microglass filter, Injector Dynamics F750 fuel filter, -6AN return
-FatFab battery relocation
-Silver's NeoMax coilovers
-Advan RSII 18x9.5 +22
I'm hoping to hit the 600whp mark on E85, but we shall see if the stock bottom end if happy at that power level or not haha
Who else is building or has built fun cars?

I take the budget minded approach.. Recently found a nice low mile well kept C4 here that needed a good home..
So, like a pound puppy i brought him home..

BTW, need an update.
Stuck on one up north that's perfect, doesn't need any work but having a hard time justifying the price tag even though they will only appreciate in value IMO, especially since it's a supercab.
The Shop
I can dig a clean C4! The last shop I worked at, we did a 383 stroker, D1SC ProCharger and Holley Dominator EFI setup - it was a fun time!
I can share some pretty sweet drag cars if your interested, not really the builds you are talking about.
I'd do a GT350 motor in one of those, to at least give it some kind of flat plane exhaust note!
My current project is a '68 Plymouth Fury with an old school built mechanical cam 440 in it, reverse pattern manual valve body 727 on the column, and a way too loose converter. I eventually want to put a Holley sniper and nitrous on it, hoping to get it into the 10's eventually.
I have a 91,. I like this year for it has the newer interior, rounded off nose and tail .. while still using the stump pulling L98.. 92 they went with the LT1 which has the dreaded opti-spark issue.
I find the C4 a fascinating transition car from the 70's to 90' tech. frankly if i was a Vette i might be a 91 for better or worse.. Actually just picked up this one owner 16k mile 78 pace car!
Pit Row
My B5 with RS4/6 K04 hybrid turbo’s on E85. 450whp. Love me some violent AWD cars.
Since that post I raced it in Roadkill Nights (legal street racing here in Detroit) and also took it to Norwalk a couple Fridays ago. It's running okay for a tank of a car, went 12.46 @ 108. Going to try to get it into the high 11's next year either by changing heads or putting some nitrous on it.
once i get everything sorted out mechnically, i plan on doing a standalone ecu and an upgraded .57 trim ct26 turbo and supporting mods. should be good for 400 whp give or take @ 1 bar of boost. i want ot upgrade the wheels and suspension but like i said earlier, i need to get the rest of the car sorted out first.
im keeping the original 7mgte motor in there, no plans to do a 2jz swap as i dont have the time nor do i think i need a 600 whp street car
i am also contemplating buying a porsche 996 turbo in the next year or so.
i always wanted an evo 8 or 9 but never had the moeny and now they are too expensive.
i was into doing track days a few years ago and was always on the lookout for a clean evo 8 rs (i believe this was the model that had a mechanical differential and manual windows) as it would've been a good platform for a track car.
I do have a 1996 Ford F350 4x4 7.5l CCLB project that im rebuilding/refreshing. Picked it up needing some work/reassembly for $1500. Its relatively rust free, which is impressive for a 25 year old mid-atlantic 4x4.
So far it has a new core support, Heddman headers, remaned OEM fuel injectors, stainless steel brake lines through the whole truck, stainless steel trans cooler lines, new trans cooler, water pump, new fuel tanks, pumps and sending units. POR 15 on the frame. General tune up. 33s and black wheels for now. Close to driving it.
