I want as much horsepower as u can get out of an evo 8 without getting bad gas mileage is it possible and if so how (money is not an issue)

do all your basic bolt ons and cams! TBE, intake, boost control, fuel pump, FMIC with IC piping, BOV, cams and a great tune, you will have lots of power and gas mileage ranging between 18 tto 26mpgs.

What kind of gas mileage are you looking for, if money is not an issue why worry about mileage?

What does tbe mean? I don't mind throwing a bunch of money into performance I just don't want to spend all my money on gas I drive 50 miles a day round trip. Will it still b reliable with the parts u mentioned?

Yes. Do all the bolt on mods that he mentioned above and be sure to research a reputable tuner to tune it. Youll be more than satisfied. You can probably squeeze out 380-400 AWHP, with a smooth powerband. But if you want to keep the stock turbo as well, and money isnt an issue, buy the IX turbo. That will put you closer to 400 and still keep it reliable.
