This was on a motor that laid down about 160ish whp when it rolled off the assembly line mind you.

I'm not totally ignorant about what's built here in the states
oh also the domestic buick 3.8 v6 has been known to handle high hp well, the LS1 and LT1 have been known to take around the around of 500whp+

my lt1 makes over 500hp at the crank and has 120k miles on it, I mean shit it's some pos aswell

now lets see...some things that caught my eye...a cam swap in a 4 cyl can yeild anything from a 10 whp gain to over 100 whp gain depending on your setup, a stock car would have little to gain...but a fully setup car going from stock cams to aftermarket cams will see a HUGE benefit
yeah but that's in a scenario where the cams are the only thing unmodded and are restrictive to the rest of the setup

throw a cam in an stock LT1/LS1 and throw 2 cams (shit 2 of em that's even better than 1 ) in a stock 1G/2G eclipse and see which car drops a full second of it's ET

oh well like I keep saying I gotta plenty of love for the 4 cylinders, I just love argueing lol

yeah I was thinking about mentioning how trailer park 3rd gen camaros and firebirds had recaros, so don't think your evo is so special

Do a couple of little free mods, drop the exhaust, pull the wastegate line and add some race gas and watch the Eclipse run 1.5+ seconds faster than stock for 0 dollars.

Oh, and cam installs don't require retiming. Just zip-tie the timing belt to the cam gears, keep the CAS installed and don't let it spin, and drop in the cams. Bolt shit up and run it. It can be done very quickly once you've done a few.

Though I'll admit, 400+ whp off i/h/e+cam like in a LS1 is pretty sweet.

Thread needs to be locked, so the GM guys can talk interiors all day long on a new thread dedicated to Evo vs. GM interiors
