    True, the STS kits are typically for mild cars, but its not usually the system of chioce for uber-HP builds.
    Word is you got beat by a $30k, 4cyl Lancer in your $42k Supra, lol. Is that equally as funny as beating a 5.7L TT Corvette?

    Still waiting to see if this Evo wants to run me.

    Thats funny since my car has been down for almost 2 months. Ive never been beat by a lancer. But if you know someone with differing opinions, Id be glad for them to refresh my memory

    That's just what I heard from a credible source.

    Something about a 45mph kick.

    I'm sure you'd love for them to refresh your memory. Is your clutch issue and stuff fixed?

    Aaah. Wasn't Charles on his old setup? They should rematch once Lightspeed gets his clutch/pp stuff worked out.

    Ill have clutch done soon enough. The truck and 240 are also broken right now, so Im a bit inundated with repairs
    I have no beef with this evo in question, so this is the last thing Im saying on this subject.... AEM datalogs dont lie But, like I said, Im game for a rematch, if there is still uncertainty.

    All I was implying is it would be interesting to see you guys run with his new setup. It's all in fun, I don't see why Charles wouldn't run you.

    Maybe you guys can duke it out at Import Face Off in a few weeks.

    LOL, uh huh. Im not going to rehash thatbecause there is no point, but I think people know the real story. And like I posted before, if there is room for doubt, Im game for a rematch. Do you want to back the EVO?

    I can't bet with someone else's car. If it breaks, I'm not fixing it. I know Charles is extremely consistent with his car and knows how to drive it very, very well. You sure are getting a little worked up over this, don't ya think?
