Yeah not sure which way I wanna go with tuners. I think th eone you are referring to is the hydra. Your right it is a sweet deal but not very many tuners out there for tuning with it. I am gonna see how the ecutek is. Like I said seems that setup should be atleast at 430whp, but I think it did say it was a conservative tune. Prolly will end up a methanol injection setup too.
I've thought about meth, but always talk myself out of it. I like that mine runs on pump gas with the stock turbo. I think I could get up to around 360 with a few more additions, some cams, and a more aggressive tune, but I'm ok with 320 hp to the wheels for now.

My buddy has a 03 evo with a built motor, just needs injectors, fuel pump and turbo. he went 11.60s with a mr turbo on the motor. Meth is def. the way to go helps you run those higher boost levels without the risks involved. Not sure what mods you have but be careful my friends evo eventually couldn't handle it anymore and threw a rod. That was also after 80k of hard miles.

I have a Precision GT6157.It is rated for 630 hp, I'm pushing around 500.
It is a new Boosted Technology turbo.Actually boosted technology isn't new, it's just new to the Grand National world.

Nice! What kind of quarter mile times you running. I am probably have a more agressive tune done to this car since the turbo is rated to 600hp. I want to get deep into the 11s.

11.29 There is a little more left in it but I don't like to do E brake launches and I don't want a trans-brake.

I like the STi.
First thing I'd do, is have that big wing removed.
I like sleepers. A dream of mine is to build a wicked Crown Victoria, but keep it as pedestrian lookig (minus some nice wheels of course) as possible- but at least give it Mustang GT to Corvette levels of straight-line performance (Supercharger or Turbo).
Make it what the Marauder SHOULD have been.
