Friend got a 2003 EVO...should I worry much? He brought it by last night and I saw that he had an CAI Intake and an aftermarket boost gauge and didn't see any other obvious mods. He was talking about getting a boost controller but that's about it.
My mods are in sig and I'd most likely do a roll race on the highway with him from probably 60ish.
My roommate has a 95 T/A auto with a catback and wants to run my friend on the street from a dig.
So guys, how much of a problem is Mr. Evo going to give us?

you should have no problem beating him....
untill he adds just a couple more bolt ons, like full exhaust, and that boost controller, then he might creep up on you if your not careful

Yeah he wont be much of a problem with just an intake. If he has a TBE, MBC and a good tune it might be another story though. Tune and TBE is good for 35+whp. Another thing to keep in mind is the '03 is the slowest of the Evo's stock.

Once he gets a tune, boost controller, and turbo back, you might want to add a few more things to your car. Evos are no joke, I don't care what anyone on here says about them from a roll or whatever. Modded, they are a force.

He's going to work over your roomy w/ the LT1, at least from a stop. From a roll without the boost controller they may be pretty close, but w/ the LT1 being an auto I figure he's going to get walked there as well. After the boost controller no shot at all for the near stock LT1 IMO...

It depends on who you ask, but I think you got some good somments from some honest evo owners here. Most evo owners think their car will pull anything, especially if they have a short throw and a K&N.
Its a fast car, but mod for mod, youll be faster.

LT1 needs some more bolt ons, but the race might be closer than some would think.
