Lightbulb which cams for evo 8

Hi guys,
Which cams should I get for my evo 8 and what brand? I'd like to get cams before I get a Flash (Ivey Flash), coz I only want to do it once to save money . btw, It is my daily driven car.

I have the ff: mods
TBE w/ HFC
K&N drop in filter
MR DV
O2 housing
10.5 HS
Ported Exhaust Manifold to Buschur for doing a great job!

Fuel pump and MBC are comming soon before I do the cams.


Thanks in advance,

-Mark

I have HKS 272 and they work great. My car has almost the same type of upgrades as yours. If you keep it like that then the 272s are more than enough, but if you plan on upgrading later then go 280's or Revolver. I was satisfied with the 272's but now I want more. So look at the big picture, either way your car will be suave.

No, they just look good.

Do we seriously need another cam thread, especially one as general as this?

I had 280's in my car on the stock turbo . The idle was harsh, but I liked it.

If I had to do it over again, I'd get the 272's. But on a bigger turbo I think I'd use the 280's.
