Question can't decide

I've been slowly moddind my EVO 8 and cannot decide on which to do next.

Right now I have:
Perrin dp
test pipe
GReddy Ti-C catback
megan O2 housing
walbro 255
HKS evc

I want to get 280 cams and BR stg.III head or the ETS 3.5 IC


I would also like to know the better cams to get. I was looking at HKS and Brian crower. Any help with this would be great too.

Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks guys

I posted on your other thread. I wouldn't even consider a head if you are sticking with stock turbo. Your going to outflow the turbo. Get GSC s1's. The intercooler is a good upgrade but cams will do a lot more.

get the FMIC first, then save up for both the head and turbo so you can throw those on at the same time.

Scrap the head and get some cams you can enjoy with plenty of mid-range power. GSC S1s or even Cosworth 272s.

i have heard that the cosworth cams make good power, but i think you would need to get springs for those. on the other hand, with the hks you would not need springs but i think the power would be less.

You can run stock springs and retainers, but keep stock revlimiter. Above 7.5k-8k, I'd upgrade them.

I'm currently in a thread about BC cams 272 and people seem to like them, at the same time some hate them. I want good bang for the buck still searching any body experience with any cam on an EVO8 would be great.

Thanks for all the replys.

I have to look for that thread but being your here, I will also be lookin into cam gears. I want something that looks nice but also reliable. I thought I read before that a certain HKS cam gears had problems with loosening?

Bump it up
