So I went out to the weekly meet again to see if I could get some rematches with the Evo IX and 335i that I raced a few weeks back. The 335i apparently wasn't running well so he didn't want to race. That left the Evo, and finally after waiting around all night we went down to Mexico to get some runs in.

Unfortunately my car was not wanting to go into 4th tonight. We ran about six times, and only two times did the car go into 4th cleanly. The other times it was not happy. The clutch was sticking, it's time for a tick MC! I was very angry about this, and I still am.

My car is an '01 WS6 M6 with Lid/LT's/ORY/Catback and is untuned.

His car is an Evo IX with Bolt ons and approx. 312whp on a Mustang Dyno.

Here are the only two runs that were worth uploading. The first run he misses 5th gear. I miss 5th in the second run Both cars have one passenger, and we were going from 45mph.

Overall I still had a good time. The Evo owner is a super cool guy and we talked before/after the runs. Next time I need to not be missing 4th!

 

Sucks you couldn't hit 4th like usual. But in the 2nd vid you pulled him pretty good

 

Yea it really does suck, I've never had a problem with it before. I guess I just have to dump some cash into it now!

It's too bad that nobody stepped up to you tonight lol, I guess everyone was scared.

 

Good kills and vid. Given how your rematch went, how do you think you'd stack up against that 335i? What was the problem he was having?

 

did he let off near the end of the 2nd vid cuz u walk past him pretty fast then

 

Dope.

 

Nice kill.

 

lol I knew I wouldn't have a run. I just went out there to hang out

 

Good kill man and shifting!! What were your times with the LT's? Lid and C/B you ran a 12.7 right?

 

So when are ya'll gonna do a rematch from a dig?

 

Powershifting?


Real good racing there, swapping leads.

 

Nice runs! Stock clutch? Might be your pressure plate giving out on you. Will have to wait and see if the tick solves it.

 

...what bolt ons does the evo have? he's not putting out 360whp with just bolt-ons.
a full exhaust (housing,DP, catback) & full intake w/piping will net him around 300-310whp. a tune is where its at but even then he's not gonna see more than 340ish with a tune.

 

what up Marlon! i just re-activated my old account! i see you're still on here as well!

 

on the youtube video he says 313whp

 

....that sounds more like it. 360whp wudve been a totally different outcome

 

Whats up! Nice to have you back

I think the evo owner was referring to a dynojet like we normal use on our cars when he said 360hp. It made 313 on an awd mustang dyno.

 

I have seen plenty of bolt on evos make 400AWHP with bolt ons. Intake, Exhaust, Cams, FMIC wih all the piping, Crank the boost up and E85, stock turbo too.

 

i really wudnt consider "cams" bolt-ons as you now have to open up the motor to get to them.
...i mean heck...you can "bolt-on" a ported IX turbo housing...does that still qualify as "bolt-on"?

...and you are correct, 400 is achievable with mods you listed (which is the exact route im taking now that you mention it)

 

I agree. Cams aren't bolt ons
