Im a newbie when it comes to cams, but im looking to throw some aftermarket cams in mine pretty soon. This may be a dumb question, but do i need aftermarket cam gears or not. which gears are prefered and what are the pros and cons of aftermarket ones and the adjustable ones.

Are you trying to say that adding cams to an Evo8 won't gain power, just shift it? I gained 30whp up top and 45whp in my mid range when I added BC 272's and retuned (stock 8 turbo with 9.8 hotside). If anything, I would say not to get cams if you have an Evo9 with the proper Mivec tuning.

good info. no more questions need to be asked, if everyone will just read the thread. 11pgs isn't THAT MUCH.
:glenn:
i'll be installing cams soon. i WILL be bleeding the lifters. as for filling them with diesel fuel???? i don't see how that is any better than leaving oil in them.
so.. i'll be bleeding.. then doing the 3k rev thing. then crossing my fingers. LOL

So how about when changing cams, springs and retainers as well? Is it a good idea to bleed the lifters then?
I want to upgrade cams very soon from my stock IX ones. Is it a good idea to upgrade springs, retainers, and headstuds at the same time when doing cams?? And how about cam gears, and timing belt etc?
