I am looking for added low end and mid range torque !

Can I install HKS 264 cams without re-tuning the car ? Will it work well ? How about HKS 272 ??
(EVO8, stock turbo with ECU Tech, upgraded petrol pump and free flow exhaust )!

 

u need a tune when you install cams

 

Even for a mild change like 264 ??

 

yes you should get a tune even if its a SAFC. it'll help you out alot. those 264 will pull heavy down low and mid range. Get a tune and u'll found out.

 

your **** will idle real bad if you dont.

 

Yeah you need to tune for the cams dude....i got a 272i/264e combo on my car and here is the difference before and after a tune...

 

I just took the cams out of my car and back to stock, and let me tell you, it's not just a mild change - you don't realize it until going back to stock from cams. When I had them installed, I drove on my 272s for a bit while waiting to be tuned, but don't push it (boost, etc.) until you get tuned. YES, it's necessary!

 

Thanks, why 264 / 272 combination ? Why not 264 / 264 or 272 / 272 ??? What is better for daily driving !

 

The combo is good for low to mid power as you can see in the tune....str8 272's are good for highend...or so i am told...anyone else care to chime in?

 

pm replied to. In short: 272s are probably best if you're going to race where you'll be above 6-7000rpms holding. Other than that, the 264s or a combo are really a great "street" setup and you'll be happy either way.

I had the straight 272s and they had PLENTY of low end power as well as the high end pull. But I think my car is a little bit of a freak...

 

I love my 272's! Power up top is way different! Definetly goina need some tunning device!

 

I was perfectly fine with the HGKS 264/264 for 10 days before Al came on town to custom tune it the first time back in 05. The 264/264 wouldn't harm you, you are going to be OK, just have it tune whenever you can, your car will run a hair faster still.

Get a tune, i recently got installed gsc 272s and the difference up top is crazy all ready, i can just imagine how much better it will be after tune. Besides why would you want a **** up idle......

 

the 272's affect the higher RPMS what range is that? cuz with a stroker kit ur not going to rev that high above 8k.

 

whats the problem to get a tune? we have ppl in israel who do it now...

you should know better.... you are memeber of the Sti club....
