I went to the Memphis Motorsports Park and entered my silver EVO in the autox put on by the SCCA and had a blast. The EVOs took first in class and first overall.

I put together a short vid with some of the RWD cars going off the track and the EVOs making a couple of passes. I personally tuned my car, Seth's black evo (overall winner) and newb03evo's car which won our class.

Great job and continued follow-up. Keep the story going... I'm hooked now! I recently bought an '05 MR and I'm watching this thread and making a shopping list.

 

thanks man, it's always good to hear that somebody is getting something out of my thread. I mentioned recently that I was on the fence about installing the cams and I'm starting to sway towards keeping them and doing the install rather than selling them. It should give us some valuable information about the install process and results.

 

nice tread dude. I really enjoyed reading it. I hope you keep up the updates and have an awesome time with the cams.

 

NO EXAGGERATION its true im holding 22 23 at redline with the stock turbo and ill spike/hold 30 31 at lower rpm with a forge wga stock turbo just cant do it.

 

for those that don't know, I've recently become a vendor on EvolutionM and have started offering my tuning services...see sig

 

I put together a lil in car video from my autoX this weekend: check it out

I finally got around to ordering the ARP headstuds, I have them on the way from Buschur Racing. Once they come in, I'll get to installing the HKS 280 cams and get some results.

 

Any updates?

 

Finally I have everything I need to get started:

HKS 280 cams
AMS timing tensioner tool
ARP headbolts from Buschur

I'm going to get started on the install tonight, wish me luck

 

Good luck Mellon! Are you eventually going with a bigger turbo with those 280's?

 

thanks! yeah the 280's may be overkill for the stock turbo I'm very interested in the 20G LT aka EVOgreen so I've been saving my pennies towards that. By the time I have the money together I might go with something else, not sure. Whatever it is, it has to perform well on pump gas. I don't forsee running race gas boost levels on this car until it becomes my second car way down the road.

 

I know what you mean -- I'm saving my pennies for the GSC S1 cams. I do not see a bigger turbo in the future for a looooooooong time....so i'm aiming for the best bang for the buck for the stock turbo.

You will be hearing from me then

 

Any new updates?

 

Clean Car!!! Very clean!!
