How about "Stock" EVO's. My buddies modified EVO beat me by 1 car to 100 (from a 20 mph roll). But he was not on race gas
Just wondering but ain't on a 20mph roll that you're in a Evo's territory? I'm thinking that since you're on a 20mph roll that the rpm that you and the Evo are in are within Evo's range, it's almost like racing from a dig against the Evo ain't it? Then again, I'd never raced a Evo under 50mph so maybe that's a good thing. Anyhow, just wondering about that...

I'll be searching the EVO forums for the rest of the night. The other side of this story is probably ridiculously funny.

just because someone adds an aftermarket blow off valve doesn't mean it made their car faster....

huh? perhaps you have subaru confused with mitsubishi? Our beloved EVO has a test pipe, exhaust, more boost, no engine management (or desire for), and lets not forget......race gas.

Much faster than the S, and keeps with the blown ones....

You do know that a BOV actually makes a turbo car LOSE some power, RIGHT?
