During my tuning session I noticed that the MIVEC map can make a huge difference in power even on the stock cams. I think that's why some people believe they've picked up power after a retune.

I'm now at 118mph on 100 octane stock turbo / stock cams at 26 psi.
Mivec tuning is where its at.

Listen the reason why I said stock turbo stick with stock cams was because my buddy just recently bought a Evo9. And he was debating getting cams but he was reading on the forums that the MIVEC Head, stock cams, and stock turbo are great the way they are. So to go even further my buddy who will remain nameless tunes evos and he told me from what he has seen it isn't worth it to do cams unless you plan to upgrade the turbo. Unlike the evo 8 with stock turbo we all know we need cams to really make the power of the car shine. But dude save your money. Or next time hit the search button

I love the big midrange the hks 272s gave my car with stock cams and with the new turbo it's even sicker. Mind you I don't need the peakiness to cossies as I don't ever drag race. Daily driven and weekend track use. Compared to cossies these make as much as 50 more midrange hps as
We've seen on the dyno. It's a difference you feel

i agree, but if you want to go with somthing a lil more heavy then go for JUN cams BUT with JUN cames your going to end up getting valvs also

Although I like the m2's the most for mild ix's, I would agree that the money may be spent better somewhere else.
