<![CDATA[Fargo has a 540hp EVO 8]]>Congrats to Johnson for having the highest powered EVO 8 in fargo.. Maybe ND?

I heard it was 540hp on 27psi... Just think what it will do with C-16 37 psi 640?. I want to see the dyno sheet!!! 10 sec passes for sure...

After hearing this I ordered a Eagle Crank for my Evo.. I'm coming to to get you..

a built 2.0 would be good for stretchin gears to 9k, but they are laggy....from what i have heard.

Nick thats pretty dirty...

I got a ride in it the other day and didnt seem like a good powerband for a street car. Just my opinion.. Maybe it needs to rev to 9000+

so far of the evo's you have turbo'd I'd say joes has the best powerband for street driving.

Yeah it is dirty, so clean it thats your job :-p.

Stock evo trans are just way to short to make use of big power IMO. His setup on the dyno makes full boost @ 5200 and he's reving to 8k. Joes does have a good powerband but @ the same time that setup is pretty much maxed out. Then again he also lost a bunch of mph going back to the stock trans.
