I think supporting mods for the green are as follows...
FMIC (to avoid heat soaking quickly)
Ported exhaust mani (creates more exhaust flow)
Smaller gap on plugs (helps to avoid spark blow out)
3" turbo back (speaks for itself)
o2 housing (ported wastegate hole)
Lower IC pipe (stocker is very restrictive)
ARP head studs (for safety sake)
Most important.....A TUNE (a necissity to everyone)
Optional but really wake up the turbo
Big Cams with springs and retainers
These are common mods most people do any how. The green seems to really respond to free flowing exhaust.

i agree i would say cams are a must on an evo 8. in retrospect i wish i had gone with more aggressive cams to get some more top end, HKS 280's or the like

272s are the best all around cams in my opinion. They idle well and have all around good power. Any other cam seems to have side affects. My revolvers are not much help for top end, but torque.....it's amazing.
Zeus1.....I know you love how you can be on the highway in 5th and just mash the gas to pass someone....no more need to downshift to pass. It is so awesome.
Then when you do have to downshift....whatch your neck...it's gonna feel it. So much fun!!

Zeus1.....do you have any issues with your APS DV fluttering a lot when under boost going up hill???
I have one....the darn flutter drives me crazy. Maybe I need to crank it down a bit more.

Hey, hate to kind of jack this thread, but REALLY interested in getting a tune. I have a 05 gsr, stock block, stock porting on head, stock tranny, with a Peakboost GT30R FTW kit, 3" trust t1-r exhaust, AEM EMS, Buddy Club 264/272 cams, HKS cam gears, HKS SSQV BOV, XS Engineering intercooler upgrade with the hard pipes, Snow performance stage 2 methanol kit, RC Engineering 1000cc injectors, AMS fuel rail, Magnacor KV-85 wires. It is currently running a so-so tune and makes right at 400 awhp, but there is ALOT more there. It was tuned at 18 psi on 93 before the meth and cams so that will help also. I'm looking for 23-25 psi and 475-550 range. Is this possible, and if so can I call and possibly schedule a tune. I live in northern Kentucky and it wouldn't be too bad to get to where you are.

Never got a remote tune, so would appreciate it if you could let me know how long it usually takes to get the tune to an acceptable and perfect stage with remote tuning (a car like the above)
