A dig to 100 is probably your best bet.

It's a varient of the 4B11T, minus decent engine internals and I'm sure more. The poor motor can't take boost like the EVO X.

I love the auto trans and all, but even for my 08 GT with it being stock- it was an absolute dog compared to it with a real tune and CAI.

I agree lol, the tuner was one of my best purchases by far.

I didn't know the engine was that varied from the EVO, I thought it was the same thing with just a different turbo/tune as well lol. Shows how little I know about those cars.

Probably gonna stick to a 0-100 after all, seems like my best bet.

i had one for a while last year and while it was a fun little car to drive, i really wasnt that impressed with the performance. i raced a friend of mine in a stock 2010 Hemi Grand Cherokee and he WHOOPED my *** every time from a dig and a roll...
