reflash + cams or Intercooler? which would u choose first?

HI,

Just wondering if I'm gonna be reflashing my relatively stock car (TBE, Walbros, K&N drop in) + some mods, which of the mods would u rather go for first?

1. Cams (272s)
2. Intercooler

Im' planning to stick with std turbo for now, would 4" intercooler actually help or would it be too laggy?

And you drive a evo7? i dunno about the 4" intercooler is that its width or is that the inlet and outlet size?

Cams First, IC will help on the road, but not much on the dyno. I don't think you would need to alter the tune much for the IC addition, unless the pressure drop is way less, then just turn down the boost to match the tuned boost.

thanks guys!! i'm looking at getting Crower 272s, heard they're quite streetable and good bang for the buck.

Would you go for a 4" IC given it 's a pretty stock car? or am I better off with std IC?
