i'm going over a list of parts i am going to be installing in my evo in about 500 miles. My engine rebuilt break in period will be over and i figured since my warranty is done I might as well take the plunge.

I'm looking around at various cams and having difficulty choosing. I originally thought about 272 HKS cams but i'm not sure that will do what i'm hoping for. The car is basically a street car that will see a few track events. I want the best results through-out the powerband and not just on top end. any input from you guys would help alot.

Also i was looking into the Works throttle body and wondering what your opinions are for it. I'm only shooting for 350whp and probably going to call it a day for a while once i'm there and i'm not sure what the limitations of the stock throttle body are and if it is even worth the $400 for the Works one.


thanks

 

If your in the chi-town area give AMSa call. I see you posted on there forum. They can most certainly hook you up.

 

i would but i'm at work right now and i don't think my boss would like it if i used my time to chit chat about my car on the phone.

 

I put down over 500whp on the stock TB. SHouldnt be a problem. I would go with the new Revolver, Tomei, JUN cams but be prepared for valvetrain work if you dont want to do valvetrain go with the HKS 264/264 or 264/272 combo.

i'm willing to do what is needed. i just don't want to overcompensate for my hp goal.
