I guess I can't wrap my head around evos that seem to get away with 30 on 93 and make 600AWHP out of a 2.0 liter on 93.

how is it we cannot replicate this, or at least get close? Our best intercooler setups are pretty beefy, is there some problem with them I do not know about? I know it is hard to not have a bunch of bends and other issues due to packaging restraints, but the cores themselves should be ok on the good setups.
is it just DR heads? wouldn't any +1 (stage 3) heads be sufficient for this?
also, are we shelving the idea of strokers for this discussion?
Just DR heads. Matt M spent YEARS buying NEW sets of heads and applying different combustion chamber designs in an attempt at eliminating the hot spots in the cylinders. I can't for the life of me find that thread but it dates back to the early 2000 era of 3si back when Matt shared a lot of technical info. :(
BTW my DR750 car will be running a stroker.
I'd put my money on cam lobe profile (lift, and duration) and valve timing and over lap. Combustion chamber shape and texture will also play a factor.
