If that's true how did Tom make 413awhp and 432ft/lbs of torque on an evo3 16g? And if maxed out the turbo makes 390 crank hp how can it make more with cams and tons of bolt ons if it's already maxed out?
If you don't know what you're talking about, it's best to give no information then wrong information.
You can't state how fast the car might be or might not be just based on those mods. You forgot to add transmission condition. It doesn't matter what mods you have if the trans is junk the car is junk.
There are also some parts on that list that need to go in the trash like the tubular manifold is probably junk unless they put a real tubular manifold on a 16g which is rare, weapon r afpr, fmic doesnt tell us anything about performance/efficiency, jdm shortlbock doesnt mean shit in the real world, injectors, what kind? Etc...
If you want a fun project that takes time, money and a different way of driving then what it seems you are use to then buy the car. If you have no mechanical inclination and are only buying it to expect it to run a certain time then save yourself the money and save the dsm people from having to deal with another person giving them a bad name buying them, not knowing anything and destroying it or totally sucking with it and then talking shit about how much dsm's suck.
Please don't take any offense to my post it's kind of like tough love from an experienced DSM'er. If you like the cars, want to learn more and have fun then welcome to the family.
