***DST built evo 8 RS***

First off I want to thank Sean and Justin @ DST Motorsports for taking care of my car.

I opted to have the head build up to handle more power and boost. They took off the head sand blasted and made sure it was true and straight then following parts were installed:
-Tomei Springs
-Manley Retainers and locks
-New Mitsu Head gasket and valve seals
-HKS 272 Cams

I couldn't be any happier as they met and exceeded my expectations and I would recommend them if you have any shop needs. Here are some pictures of the progress:



Head came out looking new...

HKS 272s seemed a better fit for my application based on reviews and specs.

It put down 344 WHP on pump with Evo 9 turbo.

I am thinking of getting it tuned on e-85 to put down around 400 WHP then save up for some bottom end parts and go bigger turbo eventually to break into 500 WHP (that is the goal).
