I even have the HKS 272's and they are a little lopey at idle, even though they are a pretty mild cam. My girlfriends Dad told me yesterday I should get it checked out. I said yeah, and agreed. No need to tell him... just an unnecessary conversation

Your tuner should help you with that. It's an agressive cam for sure. If you raise the idle a lil bit it will for sure help.

everyone I work with have decided that my car sounds like a john deere tractor. I have Hks 272s with a low idle. I personally love the sound and would hate to have an evo that sounds like a honda.

Yes normal ppl think my car is possibly broken I offer them a ride
