Doing this sort of thing needs an oil-cooler and even if you go on the Evo sites about the ring they all say this is the main mod needed

Its horses for courses at the end of the day and i like abit of drag racing as well as track and Evo's dont handle launches well at all

When i get older i might want active Yaw control helping, me but at the mo i prefer doing it all myself
The point i was trying to make was my Evo has been battered from day one & 34k later it was still going strong. Ray had kept it std & had no issues with engine or box. The car never even had so much as a wheel bearing changed. I wasn't trying to say there better just that this particular car had done really well considering the abuse it's had. All the Evo's come with oil coolers some models have bigger than others. As far as yaw control is concerned mine is none existent at the moment i will however get it mapped back on again. I dont really know the in's & outs of it to be honest. Ive now tried it without so when i get some money together its going back on. If it helps then good if i feel no improvement then it will be removed completely & an RS diff fitted. Your right James the Scoobs are better at the drag strip. There better at the launching proberly due to the gear box being in the right place. As you say there both good for the money you pay.
