mivec does reduce lag, but its basically VTec for mitsubishi. the Evo makes 270 still, but now its got it all high end also. I believe the old Evos lost some power high end. I dont know why u would think evo 8 has more potential. Same engine but with variable timing. Same stuff.

The VIII is the same as the IX in terms of potential. I think what you mean is that the IX has to toss MIVEC in order to make big power. I think that is only because the tuners don't know how to take advantage of it past 500whp or so.
MIVEC in some Mitsu's is like VTEC, but in the IX it is only the variable valve timing part. It cuts out around ~6krpm since its only purpose is to help spool up and mid range power.

Like I said, all they have to do is remove MIVEC to make bigger power. That doesn't mean that the VIII's have more potential, only that the IX's require an extra step when you want more than 500whp.
