Default 506whp Evo vs Cam only LS3

One of what seems to be 100 Evos around here, we've been trying to set something up for awhile now and finally did. He's full bolt ons, cams, 58/58 turbo, and weighs less than 3100lbs, my mods are in my sig. Was a little surprised at how hard it moved out.

Makes sense...a little lighter and a little more power. You did good considering

Was he still in it when you passed him? I can't tell if he got out of it or shifted to 5th.

Nice kill. You really turned the tables on him, it didnt look good for you right off the hit. Set up properly thoes little evo's can go pretty good. I have heard of alot of them going to a different transmission, possibly for that reason. But very nice come back

The majority of the manuals are 5-speed. They did come with a 6-speed in the rarer MR version I believe, but the 5-speed is known to hold more power and be more reliable. That's for the Evo 9, which I assume is the one in the video. The Evo X is virtually identical, but the MR is a 6-speed dual clutch.

Sounds like he couldn't shift it into 5th quickly.

Good runs regardless!

I've ran in to some pretty bad evo's. Buddy has one making just shy of 1000whp and it pulls like a train on about everything.

Yeah I had a IX MR for a while, they came with a 6-speed and most if not all of the non-MR came with a 5-speed. The 5 can take more power because both transmissions are built inside the same case, so with fewer gears in the case they can make them beefier. At least that's what I heard when I was researching it. It doesn't really matter until you are building a 600hp+ car though and I would much prefer the 6-speed. I miss my Evo so much but that vette has some serious top end!

As expected. Evo needs 4.11's. Things roll the **** out with 500whp, definitely a fast and quick car with that power. Kick myself everyday for not buying a 9. As I have said before OP, your car runs damn hard for the mods!
