LOL... do you need a clutch ? you will probably soon, the question is later, down the road, are you going to have the money to buy the clutch ? if not, buy it now and wait to install it when you need to. CAMS are a want, a clutch is a need, place needs before wants and you should do much better than me

Well this question is a bit open ended. Like Bigric09 said, do you need a clutch? Is your clutch slipping?

The question you should ask yourself is what do you want to do with this car? What are your goals? Track racing, autox, drag racing? Then you can build the car the way you want to.

If you are doing it just "cuz" I would rethink that and spend the money on other areas -- for me, it would be improving my house.

thats funny i know how you feel.....it has 6,000 miles on it it doesnt NEED it right now but i thing it wll in the near future. i read your sig. i ran 12.38 @ 112 w/ a 1.88 60' and the stock launch control. i know its capable of a faster 60' cuz i've done it just not on that run.

you could get all of them if you dont go with an exedy... you could get an act, cams, and a flash for 1500 i bet... the clutch install is rough, but i bet you can find some place to do it for cheap

DB doesn't recomend you get revolvers till you have done a lot of things.

like porting your head, getting an aem ems and some other stuff. i'd have to go hunt the thread down. they aren't just drop ins to stock evo's though.

are you modded or stock?

Revolvers won't work on the stock ECU from what I understand. Plus you also need new springs with those cams.

i have a buschur tb w/ off road pipe, intake, flash for now EcuTek when the cams valve springs and retainers go in if i go that way. i am going to gat a 20g9 eventually and also alky. i just dont want to end up doing this more than once.
i do have some other lil bs stuff done that mabye added like 15-20 whp. when it goes for a tune it gets 720cc injectors too (i know there too big for the car, i got them for next to nothing and the EcuTek wll be able to tone them down enough to run. it also has a walbro pump in it already.

sounds good. you need a fmic, upper and lower ic pipe. a different bov. a boost controller, a ported head. o2 housing and exhaust manifold wouldn't hurt either

oh and headstuds and rod bolts

bare minimum you're looking at 2g's (probably more) in supporting mods to house those revolvers
