...and that is why I am glad to have a gauge pod mounted on my steering column that covers that annoying CEL! Why won't it go away and STAY away?!

Hey all,

I'm putting my shopping list together for my 60,000 mile service. I already have all the required stuff in my garage. I was thinking adding a few things to make it run even better.

FP4R Cams
Sparktech or Spoolin Up Cop Kit
ARP Head Studs

Anybody have experience with the cams above? I figure with the HKS GTII, I should get the most out of my car. I failed miserably at hitting my goal of 400+ whp (goal 425whp on S&R dyno) so I hope that adding cams and cop will make the difference.

COP will not change your power output. ARP studs is precautionary and you may have peace of mind at 30+psi with them. I would definitely look into cosworth or kelford cams to meet your goals.

I need to have a "sit down" with someone who wants to school me on the functions of the EGR and the antilag and how they interoperate.

I was told by one that the EGR is better to tune the Evo. Another told me that this doesn't apply to MY Evo VII because I have anti lag.

I've researched as much as possible, but I'm not mechanically savvy enough to figure it out.

Maybe I wasn't meant to understand...?

Hey all!
I don't post very much in here, mostly because I drive a silly lancer; but! I just wanted to extend a welcome to any Tampa-area Evos/DSM/whatevers to join a convoy from Tampa to Orlando on Sunday Nov. 20th for the Boost for ***** event.

TIME: 7:45am & leave at 8am SHARP.
LOCATION:Macy's parking lot at University Mall off Fowler Ave.

I am posting this everywhere, so that we get a pretty hefty group together for the ride over and maybe some pretty legit rolling shots? Anyways! Any and everyone is invited. The more, the better

One person mentioned that EVOs get stolen in Tampa... that's a scary thought! Either way, here I am... just looking to link up with other EVOs maybe for a New Years Day cruise or some other day...

...post if you're interested!!!
Drive a hour and check out the Orlando seen

I used to always go to Orlando for their seen until I had enough. One hour? Sorry. Can't make it in that speed. I don't have a radar detector.

Now I focus on rallying up the Evo owners in Tampa. There are dozens of Evos here. They just don't like to come out of hiding.

We've had some pretty fun meets in Tampa.
