Thanks for spending the time on this. Alot of people think only big numbers ("man im gonna throw a gt35r, 12,000cc injectors, 22 255 fuel pumps, 17'' thick intercooler") and fail to realize that you should learn and take care of the basics. All these parts are a great platform and introductory to future big numbers.

Thanks for the amazing amount of info in this post. As someone just beginning to mod their basically stock Evo, this has answered so many questions I haven't even asked yet.

If stuff on brake cooling kits could be added it'd be fantastic - several threads but not as well done as this one

Awesome post, thank you for the info!
You saved me lik 6 different threads full of members cursing at me for not searching haha

Any way you can expand on the adjustable cam gears though? Can they help adjust the idle, or is it purely hp range?
