The car feels 10x's faster from 4500 and up from 6800-8000 it just pulls so much better! The idle is lopy but sounds like sex!!! Im going GT30r someday so I didnt see the need to do the M2's just to change them later. These are very streetable as I drove around for an hour last night.

Good point! I would have been VERY surprised if some one swapped at the most aggressive cams (Tomei Pro 280s) for the m3's.

Looks to me like the M3's are a good option even for stock or stock like *20glt* turbo's. Now I know what to go with Thanks Mitch

i just wanna tell you guys something about those M3's.. at least it happens to my car...
if the car is on Idle for a while, especially after i remote start it.. yes.. i do have a remote start in my evo 9, and it actually does start with those M3's...
if the car stays on idle for like 5 or so mins.. the car will through either a p0300, or P0301... which i guess i found out it is normal..
and the same will happen if i drive the car like 40 or so miles.. the same code will be thrown

however
driving the car at 60 miles and higher, no code whats so ever... Vivid is like 32 miles from where i live.. so i take the freeway around 30 miles of the time... and i drive constat doing 65-70 miles.. sometimes more...
no codes at all

i dont know if the same happens to Evan, or will happen to Evan.. it may, or may not..
the differnece like i mentioned before.. is night and day.. those cams do their thing at high RPM and they keep doing it.. i love them...

those cams love high RPM, which means high speeds.. just thought of letting you guys know
