The evo X factory tune is horrible. A tune by itself nets you 40-50 whp. A drop in filter gets you about 20 by itself. It's ridiculous. The factory tune runs super rich, adding some air to the mix gets you crazy power. You get 350 with turboback exhaust, a drop in, and a tune. So don't get it twisted, nobody buys an evo and runs the factory tune. I'd run a supercharged SI any day and I would win.

You put 8K in an SI and get 300 WHP. You put 8K in an evo........
