Hey guys/gals,

I am thinking of camming the Evo on Friday at Vishnu. But I have heard from some people that you won't really feel a difference in power without an upgraded turbo, any truth to this?

Should I upgrade the turbo, install a boost controller, or something like that first?

How important is a boost controller?

Should I go 264/272?

Current mods:
-Espelir JGT 500
-Espelir DP
-AEM intake
-HKS SSQV BOV

I will be dyno tuning the Evo as well when I cam it if I go that route! Any thoughts would be great.

Thanks,

Kyle

buy an exede ecu it will control everything boist timming fuel rev limit ect. then your all set and when you have to smog it you can just change out the cam(easily done) then tune it back to stock oh and you should run a cat at least for the rest of us that breath the air if not yourself :idea:

You will most definitely notice cams, even on the stock turbo :werd:

How much will cams do on stock ecu no tune?

not too sure how much the gain would be but its definitely noticeable but with a tune you can get it more refined and smooth.

Thanks guys/gals,

I will definetely run a caught, if not a high flow, the stock one.

So the EXEDE is worth the extra money huh?

Why the 272's all the way around when most people are running 264/272? Are they also wishing they went with the 272's?

Thanks again, and I'm sure it's been asked numerous times, but what kind of whp should I expect? I know Vishnu uses Bozz's mustang dyno, so I know they will be low, but if you can just give me an idea?

Didn't Vishnu move their DD dyno to Bozz in an area that they are subleasing?

Getting cams is well worth it and should make a huge difference.

You may be right Jan, I might be thinking of the Gruppe-S dyno!

I have some friends here in Sac that are friends with the guys at BOZZ. I might be leaving here shortly to go get some S-techs put in, if they have them!

HKS cams you can't go wrong with either 264/272 or 272/272's

The dyno still belongs to Vishnu. And it's not a Mustang Dyno. Although the numbers they generate are still relatively low :)

definately get the dual 272's and then new Xede self tune kit when its out, your car will feel plenty quick then. That should see you to 330-350 WHP on a dynojet.

That's custom tuned? Why does that seem so low?
