new mods, does this sound right?

I'm new to the EVO world(from a 400whp 94 Formula). My 03 EVO has the following modsand I want to know if this sounds right:

intake/cat-less exhaust<---both came on the car
Turbo XS RCV/21 lbs/HKS 272 cams/ACT clutch/TurboTrix tune/Walboro 255
335awhp, 307awtq.

am I running just right, little high, little low?
Just trying to get a good estimate where I fall.

Thanks guys!

miss the tires braking loose and lighting them up, miss the grunt of a strait piped 350, miss the presence that came with a car that looked like Darth Vader should be driving it(had a T/A front clip from previous owner)...

LOVE the EVO, all year driving, backseat, trunk, handling...

don't like one better than the other, love them both for their respective strongpoints...

I think that's about where you should be. You really won't be able to get any more than that without other mods no matter what dyno you put it on. To get 350whp+, you will definitly need more. May I suggest a Water Injection kit and a 10.5 hotside mod.....

Good luck to you....

already into looking into that stuff and thanks!


It's gonna be my daily/family car for a while(fience has an '01 Miata & we live in NJ). She's looking into getting a new car, but if she trades in her Miata for something like a Benz, I'm gonna have to keep it around 350-400whp, but if she keeps the Miata and get's something like a Forrester, F-150, or some other winter beater, I'm gonna go nuts.
