No, if you want HKS cams you will not need to upgrade the valvetrain. If you decide to go with HKS cams I have some for sale if you want. they're HKS 272 cams. and will work with any evo 8.

The HKS 272 cams are the cams that are in my car. I can't compare them to the stock cams because I never experienced the stock cams. The 272's are cool sounding cams. They have a real aggressive sounding idle.

prolly 10,000 miles on the cams. cams arent a wearable item really though that I know of. so mileage doesnt make much difference. the cams are in great condidion. I'm looking for 375 dollars shipped to your door for both cams
