Dude, what is going on with you today? You've made like 10 threads and have gone completely crazy. You first wanted the fastest way to 400whp, then said you ordered a bunch of parts to get to 400whp, then you said you wanted 550whp, and now you're asking us about all these basic parts with absolutely NO CLUE what you're doing. I thought you already ordered your 400whp parts - that would include most of the things you listed in this thread full of questions.

You also already have one of the worst combinations of mods imaginable. I think you need to SERIOUSLY calm down, do some reading, listen to everything I told you in the 3-4 emails that I replied to when you emailed me, and then make some of your own decisions based off what you learn. Right now, you're on a definite path to destruction...

Well you are definately going to get the answer "it depends." However, there are brands that make multiple parts for the Evo, but specialize in one specific area. You are going to do some hardcore research and find out the best brands in you own opinoin in diffrent area of the car; handeling, exhaust, engine and internals so on and so froth. I would provide more information, but I do not want to give incorrect information, because I am not 100% sure on the brands and there areas of intrest, I just know they exsist

Thats alot of questions..There really isn't a best brand, but different brands shine in different ways, but I will try..

1. Get cams, cam gears will fine tune your cams and change your power curve, cam gears are VERY optional, HKS 272/272 is very popular and has a great increase in power..
2. Most I/C upgrade kits come with piping, you may want to buy them all at once..Buschur and AMS sell nice kits, but you can choose upon personal liking and price.
3. Get ARP head studs installed when you install the cams..
4. I prefer the Reflash tune to the AFC, but the AFC is cheap and adjustable..Dynoflash mail in tune is a better option in my opinion..
5. You can upgrade your 02 housing and add a test pipe, both will give you some extra HP..
I see you are from El Centro, I was out that way working a few months ago near the golden Acorn..That is a very nice part of the country and I an thinking of moving out to the SD area when I win the lottery!!

Basically this sums it up for you. Just give buschur a call and get your questions answered if you dont beleive the warrtalon man. I mean I know how you feel cause I personally had a hard time beleiving him myself. But he really is knowledgeable even though he may come off as a smart-a$$(no offense warr).

I personally am running very minimal mods from buschur and I am braking off everyone I race. I am beating ALL the other evos at the track here in san diego. I have beaten about 10 other evos of all years and trims with different mod setups. I even beat Crawford racings shop sti(which is putting down around 500hp). The guy doesnt know how to drive, I think. But still a win is a win.

If you want pure power and best bang for the buck buschur is the way to go.

I havent dynoed my car yet, but I dont have to cause I can see and feel the way it performs and it performs with utter brilliance and its all thanks to warrtalon and a couple other people. First you need to stick with a set goal then tell warrtalon he will then guide you the best route to that goal.

He will be concise and to the point.
