I would go with the fp black. Looks like good spool and make more power than the FP red.
Have you thought about putting the car back to stock and selling/trade it in? Food for thought

I am not really concerned about making power all the way out to 9000rpms anymore. I am looking more for a fun street car, not liter bike racer
Something that spools as close to stock but makes 500whp-550whp is where I think I should be with the car. I don't really need anymore than that I don't think. Sure I will get bored at some point but having a running car that is reliable is my new goal that hopefully stays atop my list.
Yes, I have for sure thought about selling it. But I am past that point now I think. The way the car was before would've brought a good chunk of change I think. But if I put it back close to stock, it will still have a 2.2L motor in it and I will lose out on a lot of stuff.
Besides, the more I think about it, the more I will just end up building something else up. I already know a lot about the evo and what it is capable of and I think it makes more sense to just keep rocking it vs. buying a v8 merica car that I will mod and probably break too. I think at this point I will spend less on the evo vs modding another car from scratch.

A little low, but I understand the correlation. I for sure change setups lots so I accept the crap for that lol.

Now when are we going to Coops, Dave?

Thank you for the support haha. yes, I change the evo a lot in search for what I consider to be the "perfect evo" setup but I hope I am getting close to done changing a ton and work on driving and maintenance but we will see.
I was hoping to have the evo for the coops run, but I could ride with knoxville or maybe just borrow the dads vette. I will talk to knoxville and maybe next weekend or something we could go as his car will be back together then I think.

Even with cams, it made less than my EF2 did w/stock cams (same fuel, dyno, & tuner) and spooled slower; w/o the cams it was barely above where I was at with my stock turbo on pump. Originally, Robert was touting it as fitting between the Green and the Red (hence why MAP made the EF2.5), but now I'm hearing that it flows less than a Green.
3- PlanoEvo's 2.3L EF3 spooled almost identically to my stock IX turbo. If you do the 2.2L and want a fun street car I think the EF3 would be your winner. His current EF4 is too laggy for me and doesn't make for as fun of a street beast.

Yep, I know MAP's UICP is missing that part, they sell both though.
Not so sure I feel the same way about the MHI. In fact I have seen many many people switching to the MHI from the EF2.5 and seems to be a trend on evoxforums. I would consider the EF3 for sure, I think that would also be a good choice. But I am liking the BB option I guess. I know its pricey but we will see what budget I have to work with.
I agree, the EF4 is a bit of a laggy turbo, but it can flow some serious air so its expected. But that is what I want back is some response, I have come full circle I think.
I guess I am just trying to weigh all my options for the cars new setup. There are a lot to chose from. I want response but I also don't want to get bored right away with not enough power.
Hmmm..
