I was deciding to go evo 9 turbo with new injectors and pump. The second option is cams (264/272), cam gears, injector & pump. Which will give me the best bang for the buck? I already have a dyno tune for TBE, boost pill, Evo 9 bov and a k&n drop in filter and love the extra power.

I want reliability because it is a daily drive. Any comments are appreciated and I did a search but couldn't find any answers.

 

are you going to be getting the car tuned again?

 

Cams are going to cost you more once you figure in the cost of install unless you DIY. I would suggest getting the fuel pump either way. I don't think you need injectors just yet, the pump should bring down your IDC's enough where your OK. IX turbo's are always a good choice for our cars...

 

Yea, I will tune it again after I figure which way to go.

 

do cams, because there will come a time when you will want more power than the OEM turbo can give you, and then you will have to replace it again. Going from an 8 to a 9 turbo isn't that big a step.

On the other hands, once you've done the cams it's less likely you will want to change them again, and if you want to do the turbo later you can go FP green or something bigger.

 

i need some help I have a stock evo 8 turbo with manifold, turbo back exhaust, ic pipes, intercooler, fuel pump, 272 HKS cam and fidanza cam gears and a tune...how much should i expect to pull hp wise?

 

cams without a doubt. Do cams before an upgraded turbo, even if it is just a stock IX turbo. And I would do HKS 272/272, not 264/272. I paid $550 for brand new HKS 272s, installed them on a Saturday afternoon, and after my AMS tune the car ripped! But that's just me.

 

dude i just installed mines last night and got it tuned by ams in MD and i am only pushing 320 and i can barely hear the idling....how good is ur idle?

No lag? Did you dyno after the cam install?

 

i do have a little bit of lag but i thought I would be in the 350 range...320 was dyno

 

320 whp would be nice.

I am only pushing 245 whp after my dyno tune with tbe and drop in. What mods do you have?

 

get yourself a set of GSC S1 cams. They make a much nicer power curve than HKS 272.

 

How about buddy cams 264/272?

 

Cams ftw. The stock turbo is plenty. The stock cams could use some more tho. I've got gsc 272's on stock turbo and walbro pump. They make awesome power.
