If money ain't an issue. Buy the car, drop it off at AMS and pick it up next year with about 1000whp !

it will be around $15k to get you 600+ HP atleast. But take it from me if you want to drive tha car daily you wont want to high HP because even my 50trim setup is a pain in the balls sometimes. and yes the 50trim on Evos is all it is cracked up to be. they will get you into the 11s with 93 only and no n2o or meth. with meth youll be looking at low\mid 11s. There are many forms of the 50trim if you got the .48 a\r version it explains you power levels. the Evos use the BB .63 a\r version wwhich makes more power.

sound to me the 35r should be your turbo. good for stock block if you want or good to up to 650HP if you want to. and Buschur runs 9.98 in the 1\4 with there 35r daily driver RS Evo

If your going to run alot of WHP, better set aside some $$$$$ for the tranny upgrade. Then the transfer case, possibly axles ( depending on the WHP ) then suspension .
Owning an EVO is like dating a super model, the money you put into it is worth every penny for the reward you get out of it !!!!!

Why do you want so much power? What are your 1/4 mile goals with the car? You can get into the 11's on the stock turbo with a couple thousand well spent dollars in upgrades.

I understand that some people are all about the power and into drag racing and stuff, but I think the Evo is the wrong car to do it with to be honest. By making it into a high horsepower drag car, you are only exploring one part of what the car was built for. You could spend a little cash getting it into the 11's, and then spending the money on wheels, tires, suspension, etc. Then you could have an 11 second street car with a very useable powerband (good for daily driving) and a car that will tear it up at the togue, autocross, and road courses too.

So by spending the money more wisely, you can have a car that will beat 99% of the cars on the road in a straight line, as well as hand them their asses in the twisty stuff too.

That's just my opinion though, take it or leave it.

what the point of having it? You dont need it and all youll do is blow your motor up with it... its not like you need a shot to help spool up unless you had a 42r. only thing worth spraying is meth\alky and an IC cooler. n2o is just pointless. get meth tune the car and run high boost and you wont need more. a 500HP 50trim Evo is actually going to make the power and be VERY usable. For example my 50trim at 20PSI on the track is a 12.3 at 114.6 with a 1.8 60ft and a weak tune and lazy shifting. I spun the fronts for like split second and I got el cheapo tires. only one run I got sideway off the line and boiled them up and that was because I sat on the 2 step for a long time before leaving.

i'll take it......you make sense...i have explored the options and as far as "holeshot" ability and overall power potential it suits me great..plus i can get my daughter in and out the back doors easily....i was considerring an 03-04 cobra but naaa, i like the small displacement turbo cars alot more
