Mike Phillips Racing made the drive down to PSI. Mike Phillips has joined the small group of Northwest drifters that we sponsor and support in their drifting careers.

After finishing in the top four in the 2011 Evergreen Drift Season, Mike Phillips earned his Formula Drift license.

For his rookie season in Formula Drift, Mike swapped in a 5.7L LS1 V8 for his turbocharged SR20. The SR20 has served him well in Pro-Am, but now it is time for something different.

Before going on the dyno, we went over the car and made some minor changes. We have learned a lot from building Andrew Coomes' LS2 240 and we applied some of that knowledge here.
Above: Brian making some adjustments. While on the four post, we also did a quick oil change.
An AEM EMS was installed and Jason Oefelein made a base map. The car was now ready for its first time on the dyno and have the LS1 tuned.

As it currently stands, this setup is making around 440 whp. The current map is a conservative/break-in one and we are still working on this car. The final tune will be ready before Long Beach. Also, we plan to have a video up once the final numbers are in. We hope to see you all at Long Beach in April.
