I was wondering would there be a big risk on upgrading cams on my Evo 8? it has been 84k miles. Its been stock its whole life, and very well taken care of, received all required maintenance.

I was thinking about the FP4r cams, or even the hks 280s. If I am not mistaken, I can still use the stock springs for the hks 280s, right?

 

Stock springs with the 280's is just fine. The motor should also be okay for the cam upgrade.

 

with 280s hks - you can still use stock springs, just change your head studs with arp.

 

are the hks good cams? I want to upgrade to a fpblack in the near future. Would these be recommended cams with that turbo?

 

They'll work though Kelford 272's and the GSC s2's are pretty much the standard in EVO cams these days.

Both recommend the useage of upgraded valve springs though

 

I'm running GSC S2s with a built head, 102k on the bottom end and counting.

HKS cams have seen their days, I'd honestly look at what GSC and Kelford have to offer.

 

I have 93k on the clock and just added gsc s2 cams. They are real lopey so keep that in mind.

 

my buddies evo was lightly modded up until 100k miles. Now hes at 450whp with the Red and full supporting mods... Car is good to go

 

i just installed the fp green hta yesterday and i will be installing the kelford cams with bc springs and retainers and arp headstuds this weekend. Oh yea my evo 8 has 109,xxx milies!! feels great

 

No need to change the headstuds, I don't why people are crazy about chaning headsutds in evo, it's dsm problems not evo.

Cheap insurance?
