Nows a good time to start upgrading my Evo9 mr

I had my evo for about a year now. I know my car. I have very few modifications to my car.
I have a turbo timer, Injen Cool air intake system, O2 housing aftermarket, and a Hks turboback exhaust. I was planning to get 272 camshaft and T3 Tubular headers. Is this a good start? is it too much power to just get these two parts.. how much power can i get from these? Thank you much

I would get a Walbro 255 Fuel pump and some ARP headstuds at the same time as the Camshafts. Just cheap insurance. IMO. What boost controller are you using? ECU based boost control has made some pretty awesome advances lately. you can do a search for threads on here about it.

I think you are going to have a problem putting that T3 manifold on a stock turbo. Just port/coat the stocker and be done with it.

And power gains will vary but with the cams I would say 20-30 extra horses on top of your tune Its worth it!

Fuel pumps and headstuds info.

So im curious, the Walbro 255 Fuel pump and ARP headstuds are to even out the balance of air flow? I have so little internals built and I'm getting a bunch of airflow. Is that okay? or is it required to build the internals along with it. What does the Walbreo 255 FuelPump and ARp head studs do? should I get Hallman Pro RX Boost Controller Kit or management system boost controller? Even if i get the management system i wouldn't know what to when i get it. T.T. And should I get the ECU Flash before or after the installation. hm.. last time i raced my car, my best time at the 1/8th mile was 8.9. I know thats crappy but I learned how to drive my car. I know how to launch my car. Not just burning my clutch out. I had an ACT Street racing clutch. It was very good. the grip was very strong.

Are you tuned? If not start there and I know that Chris Mellon is in TN and from what I hear does great work. I am not recomending him I have never seen his work but I know he is down there and everyone has great things to say about him.
