Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch set the stage for the semi final event of the Redline Time Attack Series. The Gruppe S Team took off to the track late Friday night and began prepping for the long weekend. The team worked hard all weekend to make sure it was a good race, and with Dez's spirited driving style and Hankook Racing Slicks they secured the 3rd Place Win in the Unlimited AWD Class.

This Lancer Evolution X is a long term project car for one of our customers and is stock other than a Greddy TiC Exhaust System. We tuned the car on a Mustang AWD Floor Dyno.

The baseline run for the car was:
248 WHP
246 lb/tq

After being tuned by Dynamic Autosport's Jason the final numbers were:
280 WHP
298 lb/tq

Total Gain: 32 Whp and 52 lb/tq. Tuning at Gruppe S is $150 an hour and we are available for appoinments.

That is one big turbo.

Today at Gruppe-S at one point or another each employee talked by it and had to stop to look at it and ask what it was for. You could fit a fist in the intake side of this thing...

Stumbled onto this picture and i just had to share it. Its a support vehicle for Rally Japan, and i must say it really captures a Rally STi down to the "T."

Dez Ballard time attack driver and his 2008 Subaru Sti get outfitted
with Stoptech 6 piston Big brake kit. 14inch rotor and stainless lines,
that is simply beautiful!

This should really help him slow the car down in the corners with all
that extra horsepower from this Garrett GT35R. No excuse now, let's see
some bad ass time this weekend at Pahrump.

Call Gruppe-S, Stoptech is having a crazy sale on the Big Brake kits,
don't miss out. Contact the sales guys here for more details.
