the pic is missleading. the car was parked on a ramp and the fenders on the evos have a strong rake to them.
i might snap a pic with a level on the fule rails to show you how regular the angle is.

as for cranking the boost, well lets put it this way : this is easier and more dependable.

we have a couple of "highly modified" evos here which make 540 crank hp on C16 and if you see the amount of money and work that had to be done to make them reach that level you would just think "why?? " you end up spending two times more than the price of the car to make that level of power.
in this case, the car can make 600 rwhp very dependably and still be a great daily driver all on pump gas ( the thing still has AC) all while costing less than the price of his old engine and transaxle.


forgot to mention that cranking the boost up on a stock evo engine will get you about 360 hp to the wheels or some thing in that range.

the vic jr. intake is for "future growth"
the current plan is 600 rwhp, but thats only the current plan 

azooz already ripped the rear suspension out ( aint waiting for it to blow), and guess what ?? a 8.8 off a stang fits like a glove! ( you should see how well the evo coil overs fit the stang rear end ! )
he should have pics of it mocked up on the car soon.


it doesn't

mybe in the future ( after he beats some AWD cars from a dig), he will think of converting it .
he was thinking along the lines of a transfer case, front diff, and an oil pan from an envoy ( diff goes through the pan). but for now it will remain rear wheel drive with a solid axle rear.
