Tomei 280 cams
Hey guys, so my tuner installed a pair of Tomei 280 cams on my evo. The car started fine, everything seemed alright. However, i've read that the 280s are supposed to have a very rough idle. Mine idles as smooth as stock!! Im wondering if the cams were set wrongly? Need some advise here

on my evo 8 I have Tomei 270 procams, and the idle is lopey for sure, even with it 'tuned down' to get it close as stock as possible. I think part of the reason its not a smooth idle may be due to the balance shaft delete. I did the balance shaft delete same time I did the cams so hard to say how much of it is cams.
I don't mind the lope, but I get quite a few folks asking, "whats wrong with your car, why does it sound like that?" That gets old after a while.

The stuff splattered under the exhaust is just moisture from the exhaust. The car had been sitting there for about 2 weeks. I figured this was a good reason to fire it up today anyhow. Enjoy.
