- I got pulled on the highway by an evo that was virtually identical to mine except + 269 cams
- I got a great deal on some new/previously-owned 272 cams + gears
- I was told (and have heard) with properly set cam gears you can get the idle very stock-like (https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...light=272+cams)
- And of course Major Power Gains

My father co-signed on my first car when I was 17 for a 1-year-old Cavalier that I could only afford because I was living at home. I didn't buy my Evo until I was making nearly 100k a year, and I still refuse to mod it as much as you due to reliability worries. If you get your car up to 350-380 hp then have engine, clutch, or tranny problems, then what? Sounds like you're on the same path to destruction as the Eclipse, but with a much more expensive car.
sorry that i dont make 100k a year like you....but oyu know what i am a performance enthusiast just like eveyrone on this board, and my whether my dad had to cosign for me to get the car then you know what thats my business, and has nothin to do with making 350whp WITHOUT cams....if you want to help out then my dad having to co sign for me shouldnt mean you shouldnt try to help out. So if my situation is an inconvinience to you or disgust you then why dont you just stay out of it.

i dont need sympathy from you if it were to crash down...i can afford the mods...i can afford repairs...i can afford the monthly payment, i just dont have credit ok? now if you dont have anythin positive to add to the discussion, then by all means please dont further post.
on the other hand....i am thinkin 264s im just trying to avoid the double install fee or the double payin for the part when i am ready for the 272s.

hmmmm not to sure about that one but a tbe can give you equivalent hp gains from what i read and its a much easier install and in some ocassions depending which tbe you get the same price or near the same price as a set of 272s...
