RE: lookin to buy evo
it will be around $15k to get you 600+ HP atleast.But take it from me if you want to drive tha car daily you wont want to high HP because even my 50trim setup is a pain in the ***** sometimes. and yes the 50trim on Evos is all it is cracked up to be. they will get you into the 11s with 93 only and no n2o or meth. with meth youll be looking at low\mid 11s. There are many forms of the 50trim if you got the .48 a\r version it explains you power levels. the Evos use the BB .63 a\r version wwhich makes more power.
sound to me the 35r should be your turbo. good for stock block if you want or good to up to 650HP if you want to. and Buschur runs 9.98 in the 1\4 with there 35r daily driver RS Evo

If your going to run alot of WHP, better set aside some $$$$$ for the tranny upgrade. Then the transfer case, possibly axles ( depending on the WHP ) then suspension .
Owning an EVO is like dating a super model, the money you put into it is worth every penny for the reward you get out of it !!!!!

Why do you want so much power? What are your 1/4 mile goals with the car? You can get into the 11's on the stock turbo with a couple thousand well spent dollars in upgrades.
I understand that some people are all about the power and into drag racing and stuff, but I think the Evo is the wrong car to do it with to be honest. By making it into a high horsepower drag car, you are only exploring one part of what the car was built for. You could spend a little cash getting it into the 11's, and then spending the money on wheels, tires, suspension, etc. Then you could have an 11 second street car with a very useable powerband (good for daily driving) and a car that will tear it up at the togue, autocross, and road courses too.
So by spending the money more wisely, you can have a car that will beat 99% of the cars on the road in a straight line, as well as hand them their asses in the twisty stuff too.
That's just my opinion though, take it or leave it.

i'll take it......you make sense...i have explored the options and as far as "holeshot" ability and overall power potential it suits me great..plus i can get my daughter in and out the back doors easily....i was considerring an 03-04 cobra but naaa, i like the small displacement turbo cars alot more
