I can promise you that Trifecta won't agree to this. That seems to be their thing nowadays. Hell, they won't even do custom tuning at all anymore.
For all those SERIOUSLY interested in MPFab turbo kit.

i agree, but for me i've just always done research on things and learned before just slapping a massive turbo on my car. I made that mistake ONCE when i first modified a car, 1 blown motor later i permanently learned my lesson lol.
Also, as stated, it wasn't my intention to come across as rude, i just suck at wording sentences.

I'm game but likely wouldn't be until next year depending on overall cost I could skip leg year(suspension) for chest year (big turbo). But to be realistic probably next year.
Walker I also wanted to know how much new cams will help this turbo as far as lag time, how much power you think they will add, etc.. Also if I wanted an e85 tune just to have, given I am using HPtuner, is that something I can save as a file and pop back in. Meaning I could switch from e85 to 93oct tune on the fly.

as far as i know, yes you could. would just have to have 2 separate tune files saved, 1 for e85 and 1 for 93, and reflash the desired tune file when you wanna switch fuel types
That would be awesome because I like to run the corn all summer! Plus a few more hp!

And so we can start getting your current setup dialed in a little better!
I completely understand zbencur's hesitation, but he's going to have to find someone locally or who will do remote tuning on a dyno to make it happen. No matter what, when you start talking more HP/TQ, bigger turbos, N2O, you NEED a custom tune as no 2 vehicles are 100% alike or respond the same way. General baselines work great to start with, but there is always room for improvement. The 80/20 rule can loosely be applied to big engines/turbos/N2O, a baseline will give you 80% of the results with 20% of the time, but the last 20% takes 80% of the time. Guess what, the last 20% is the driveability/streetability, off-idle feel, cold start, and economy part which is what you get when you spend the time (and $$$) to get a custom tune. Why do you think a good, truly custom dyno and street tune is ~$800-1000? It takes time, and time isnt cheap!
Cams are going to be a bad idea until someone who really understands the VE coefficients and how to tweak them can do the tuning, or someone has written a program that can sort them for you. The stock cams,are not limiting power yet(300hp). Changing them will drastically change the VE of the engine which means the stock coefficient tables will no longer work correctly. The car will suffer potentially in every aspect of operation without someone smart enough to dial those tables in. That person sure as hell isn't me. My car runs well, because the things I've bolted onto an otherwise stock engine do little upset or alter the VE in normal operation so the drivability is still very much like stock.
Like this??

I've made mine lope with HPTuners, but it isn't as straight forward as moving the cams at idle. Unfortunately, you can't do that because of an oil pressure threshold that must be exceeded(I've tried). However getting the car to idle at 17:1AFR by turning off closed loop at idle, and altering the fuel tables will do it. Not nearly as rowdy as my Evo though.

The sound that evo makes will never get old. It's music to my ears.
Here is the scenario I've currently dreamed up:
I drive down to MPFab, with a pile of money, and throw his whole catalog at my car, big turbo, FMIC, DRS, and Intake. I do most of the install (hoping he doesn't mind an idiot on his lift) then pay for a custom tune while I'm there, and re-tune locally to correct for temperature elevation and local gas.
Would that be something we could make happen Walker?

I have to sell my house first, which won't happen until this spring. Would be willing to put a big deposit down right after that clears.
