What do you mean by upgrade? Its 30+whp with supporting mods.
No prob EVO Girl 8, for you next mods I would upgrade the rest of the exhaust system, a downpipe and either high flow cat or test pipe, upgrade your air box, filter---> many many different choices, get a mbc to keep the boost steady at 19lbs instead of tapering off, upgrade the fuel pump, then the cams and then the reflash. "ALL" supporting mods would include your fuel system, intercooler, standalone ecu or a piggyback system, exhaust system...pretty much ALL your basic performance upgrades and then some or some would say (esp. Supras) bpu+++.
But i agree with the rest of the things you said. Those are your supporting mods, evogirl.

I think going with a 264/272 combo is the most agressive daily driver setup... 272/272 might not be as good for city driving and 280s you can get tons of power but is more for trips than just putting around town... you can set them really agressively and love it at high revs.... cam gears are a good idea if you want to get all the power you can.. plus the new HKS are lighter than stock so they are less stressfull on the timing belt and cams. You can probably reach 350whp without cams .. but it may be hard to get more with out upgrading...

Thanks guys............I just thought it would be easier to ask directly since this is a new thread and is pretty active. I generally use the search functionality, but this seemed like one occasion where it would be easier to just ask.
oh the irony.
Please use the search button. If you have to ask how many cam gears the EVO needs then you obviously have no idea how many cams you need. If you have to ask any of these questions I hope to God your not attempting the work yourself.
