Paxton gt vs 430awhp EVO
after going to a huge subie meet in Connecticut, there was a local meetup, mostly vw's and rice moniez, couple cool cars showed up though including a gutted/roll cage/ built evo. as we were about to leave I begged my brother to ask the EVO owner to a few pulls (didnt take much lol) and of course he said yes. I thought we were in for a serious beating but the good ol' 2v held strong . editing vid now give me 10 minutes!

Nice runs. Car seems like it's running good! Seemed like once the evo started to come into boost in that last gear and pull, he was letting off lol. Those cars usually pull harder in the upper gears because the lower ones are just too damn short with that close ratio tranny! AWD is definitely not the best choice from a roll haha.

thanks guys, we shut down when some cars started coming up in front of us, when the evo hit boost it pulled wicked hard we were pretty impressed, odthetruth this is my brothers car it makes around 400whp it was street tuned so we really don't know, he hasn't taken it to the track but im sure it would run mid/low 12s without any trouble id say.
nightmare he would DESTROY us from a dig haha he had launch control and all that jazz
punishment were pretty much always down to meet up and do pulls haha, I'm still waiting on MY car to be done so I can partake too instead of just watching!

Like said it was street tuned. I'd guess like 390-410rwhp not really sure tho. I've never tracked it so this is all bench racer talk. But I'd like yo think with some practice I could break into 11's. The car would def. Trap high enough to be there. I've done some weight reduction which def. Helped. Have a lot more coming and some nice mods getting ready to go on. Just need the time

He def. Wasn't toying. Talked to him a lot afterwards about it. He's at 100% duty cycle at 7800rpm so that's where he was shifting. His setup will rev to 9k with the right fuel setup. Fully built engine. FP black turbo.

2nd run where he pulled you pretty good.
You hit it then he hit it, he slowly got into boost and pulled you a couple cars.
The way the car sounds like he was taking it easy aswell or falling in and out of boost between shifts and slowly going back into boost is evidence to that.
Yeah that car is def held back bad.

His car was def. Faster not arguing that point at all. We just make power cometely different. I slowly build power until redline. He drops in and out

2nd pull was shotty. He quick beeped before I had time yo downshift. My auto is a dog if I don't manually shift it. That being said he is going for a retune with injectors, pump and e85 in august. Hoping to make 650awhp. He was running 30psi in the vids. Not sure if he was running off waste gate or not. This is his 3rd engine and 2nd tranny.

see it far to often, its a sad story.

30psi was def not on wastegate, are you sure its 30psi though? Cause 30psi with that turbo should be in the 5xx-6xxwhp range. His car running properly would not fall in and out of boost. Idk what to say, his car was basically running terrible, most likely worse then a regular stock longblock/turbo bolt on setup.

Good runs OP. Seems likes most Paxton GT's I've seen footage of have been slow. Yours looks pretty quick though. You should be in the 11's easy with suspension/tires.
