My New EVO :)))

I recently purchased a 2003 Evo and I am excited as hell. Here are the mods:

GT30 Turbo, HKS 272 Cams, Ported exhaust manifold, perrin down pipe 3" stainless exhaust, intake, buscher fmic, piping, 780cc injectors, adjustable rear sway bar, meth injection (currently unhooked) N20 Intercooler sprayer.

The car pulls fairly hard but I don't think I am reaching its full potential. I am not interested in adding anymore power mods. Currently the idle fluctuates. I imagine this is due to the ECU not used to cams. But I am a total noob so I am not sure.

If anyone has any tips or advice I will be much obliged. I am fairly new to all this. I am thinking the tune needs some tweaking but I would like some feedback!

Thanks!

I'd get a tune by a shop with a good Evo reputation asap and ditch the meth kit. Congrats!

I'm sure you can get that idle under control with a better tune. I like the sound of a cam with some lope to it, that's me tho.

Nice.

Make sure all maintenance is up to date ie. timing belt and get a tune. That should take care of the idle unless you have a boost leak.

It was tuned somewhere in Texas before I bought the car. I've never been able to get the name of the shop though.
