Decided to go meet up with by buddy who has an evo, down at a spot called mexico. hung out for awhile, and then we decided to run from a 40 roll. We both took off, ended up losing by a car. The evo is tuned, cams, intake, exhaust, made 400 i believe is what he told me. At the end he gor out and was like man that thing is moving. All the cobalt has is hpt gms1.
After that we were on our way home, a new audi with the led lights in the back, it was boosted since you did hear the stock blow off on it, but he pulls up with the paper tag on it. We go from out of the hole and he ended up losing by like 3/4 cars, he was embarrassed to pull up next to me after, he just turned at the next opening. Pretty surprised how this car pulls, definitely awesome, cant wait for a retune, and a downpipe.

 

you mean an a5 with the 2.0t??? those cars are heavy as ***** with the tired old VW 2.0T powering them. beautiful, just gutless.

 

If he was making what he said he was, youd be much farther behind with the mods you have. He DEFINITELY wasnt making that much power.

 

I'm sorry but if he had the mods that he said above then it very well could have had close to 400

Evo's on stock turbo can do 400 pretty easy with a damn good tune, I know I had 2 friends that had them

But if he did have 400 and you were right there then you have way more then the GMS1 puts down 270ish to 280ish

Or the Evo just didnt know how to drive that 400

 

its possible hes putting down less, i just remember hearing him say 400 one time, and another time with a different mod he had before he was putting down 360, but he was only 1 car ahead the whole time, and all i have is hpt gms1 and a drop in filter. I mean his car definitely pulls hard cause ive been inside of it, i figure i would of got beat badly, and when we ran that was the outcome, even he was surprised. Doesnt really make sense since the last car he beat was an isf with intake and exhaust, which is a mid 12 second car, and mine is low to mid 13 second depending on conditions.

 

Yeah man even the balts with just the GMS1 are still pretty quick and people just dont understand

Nice "sorta kill"

Wait untill you get protuned, it's a whole diff. ball game

 

probably was the a5 , had the long leds taillights i remember reading about it at the surgeons office, i remember they were only tested at like 14.2 stock, i just found that funny, a litte rich kid with a 50k car, lost.


yeah i thinking about picking up the downpipe and getting a retune soon, and then i want a re-run against the evo, to see how much of a difference it made.

 

Something must have been going on with the Evo. He should have beat you by more.

 

Well considering you only lost by 1 car with the GMS1, I'm almost positive you will pull a decent amount with a dp and a protune

I'd rec. getting a zzp catless dp, best IMO, and getting a tune from Term. since your down in FL. but thats just me

 

i mean i was talking to him and a friend before we ran, and even they said evo's are horrible from rolls, since they do have more drivetrain loss, I mean if it was from out the hole then that would of been a different story, or hes just making less power than he said, but he definitely has intake exhaust tune and cams, but i have seen videos of a cobalt with just a tune, and an evo with mods lose so i dont know.. But when i get a retune ill go to term, since hes only like 3 hours away.

 

Yeah you obviously know the outcome of doing a dig with him..

But I'd say with the GMS1 keeping up with a evo with full bolt ons and cams is pretty damn good

Keep us posted when you run again when you get your protune

 

was this evo white by chance? i was at the mexico spot not too long ago and raced a white evo that had 400bhp.... i took him by a car from a 40roll.

 

Agreed. Sounds like he was making around 330 on a HAPPY dyno. Maybe he meany bhp

 

He said he have an HPT GMS1, not just GMS1 ?

 

Nice story! All I wanna know is....where can I find the tub of girls and jager

 

+1

400 doesnt come easy on the stock turbo no matter what year Evo with only cams. MAYBE with cams and all other supporting mods on a happy dynojet but im still willing to bet you need E thrown in there as well. Maybe you are seeing graphs from a stock framed upgraded turbo such as the green/red/black/dom 2 ect...

 

with an intake, turbo back exhaust w/no cat and a custom accessport tune i made 338whp 324wtq. cams give you around 20whp.

 

its an evo 9, grey, slammed on black wheels. he was with another evo also...


and the tub full of girls with jager? i dont share , but we can try to find one for you.

and ill keep an update once i get a dp and a retune from term... and its gms1, just hpt version since its cheaper.

 

i have seen evo's with meth,tune,turbo back exhaust, and stock turbo hit 400+whp sooooo...

 

your sig is a motivational poster

 

It is, and we all know it can be very true

are you going to towers tomorrow?

 

not sure yet, ive been going 3 weeks in a row and only 2 maybe 3 others show. so for me to drive from west palm to lauderdale to say hi to 2 ppl and drive back is ftml.....

 

Very few evos with stock 8 or even 9 turbos hit 400+. Most get close, but not many actually eclipse that mark, on a "normal" dynojet. Numbers dont matter anyway, its track times that will truely measure power. Now, add an FP turbo or modified 8/9 turbo in that equation, then its easier to pass that number. Meth put me over 370whp with EVERY other bolt on on a stock 8 turbo and a good tune.

 

I know a kid around here that has a 9 with every bolton kelford 272s and meth that did 393whp so its not impossible to hit 400's

I know he had meth but still it's not impossible

Evo's are quick dont get me wrong but they're so overrated

Balt will be victorious when adding a dp and a protune

sub'd for vids to follow

 

I'll come out and ru. You exodus , mike I'll go to towers if you go tonight
