the pic is missleading. the car was parked on a ramp and the fenders on the evos have a strong rake to them.
i might snap a pic with a level on the fule rails to show you how regular the angle is.
as for cranking the boost, well lets put it this way : this is easier and more dependable.
we have a couple of "highly modified" evos here which make 540 crank hp on C16 and if you see the amount of money and work that had to be done to make them reach that level you would just think "why?? " you end up spending two times more than the price of the car to make that level of power.
in this case, the car can make 600 rwhp very dependably and still be a great daily driver all on pump gas ( the thing still has AC) all while costing less than the price of his old engine and transaxle.

Hmmm...Ok. Now that its becoming more apparent that this is for real...Im starting to become more interested. I see the question "why" popping up. And my question is "why not?". People are putting LS1's into everything now. Domestics, imports, classics, boats, hell even planes... I dont think it LOOKS really good. Mostly because of the weird angles. But hey, if its not a show car who cars right? I bet once its totally finished up its going to be a hell of a ride.
The other EVOs and STIs wont know what hit them....or what blew by them. I say good show...good work...and good god get us more pics and some video of the thing running!!!

1dirtyZ,
Why the victor jr. intake? Seems as though cutting the hood could have been avoided by using a Weiand intake w/ possibly only a slight difference in volumetric efficiency due to the flow differences.
