Which cams to but for my evo 8

hey everybody, well ive decided for my first major mod to get some new cams. i want cams that will give a nice idle now and still be able to handle more power upgrades in the future as my funds grow. my goal is to reach 400hp. thanks Kris

Dude, you have a lot of reading to do if you're going to make the decisions on your mod path, you might want to spend some time using the search function. There is also a sticky in the Evo General section that will help a lot..

kelford are some of the best cams you can run period and will handle the power gains that come with it dont get hks as they are mild. do it once run kelfords or s2 you might also consider and spring and retainter upgrade as well.

Do you like saying Kelfords?

"Yo dawg, I heard you like kelfords, so we put kelfords on top of your kelfords."
