Interaction strength is introduced in a model of evolution in d-dimension space. It is realized by imposing a constraint concerning 2d differences of fitnesses between that of any extremal site and those of its 2d nearest neighbours at each time step in the evolution of the model. For any given interaction strength between 0 and 1 the model can self-organize to a critical state. Two exact equations found in Bak-Sneppen model still hold in our model for different interaction strength. Simulations of one- and two-dimensional models for ten different values of interaction are given. It is found that self-organized threshold decreases with interaction strength increasing. It is also shown that the critical exponent, and two basic exponents, avalanche distribution, and avalanche dimension, are interaction strength dependent.
