i also had a turbo trix tune when i was stock. once i installed the hks 272/272 after the tune, my car was SLOWER then a evo with nothing but an intake and a downpipe. i had TT tune it a second time, and then i put 3-4 car lengths before 3rd gear on the same car. now i tune myself and its even faster

I personally have HKS 264 I/E cams and can tell you once they were installed and custom dyno tuned I had the hardest pull the evo ever gave me. The cams are the only mod that I dont "feel" like my car is slow again because Im used to it and I've had them for almost a year.

Please explain to me ... the def of weak ? A basic tune is richer and less timing then a custom but i fail to see a reason that he shouldnt be beating his friend. You give HP estimates of 300 - 350 ... that is very broad. His car should put out with the cams and a mail in ..about 325. There is no rocket science .. in the mail in. I've done hundreds and hundreds .. i guess his tune is diff then the next guy and its just weak and cant be something else wrong with the car..

alright so i have a 05 evo8 with exhaust, boost controller, fuel pump, bov, hks 272 and a basic flash from turbotrix. still running on stock clutch, i raced my friend who has and 03 with ACT clutch boost controller and exhaust, and believe it or not, we are neck and neck. we switched cars and he was not able to pull on me in my car. he is not tuned, and i have a stock clutch and i am tuned, but i cant pull. obviously theres something wrong with my cars performance not being able to pull on a lightly modded evo. im thinking its the stock clutch drivetrain issue ,or my tune.
what do you guys think
what do you guys think
Do you have a test pipe ?

No in fact they are very good. No one is perfect but I have a feeling having cams and a mail in flash is the probwith the OP. I got installed and tuned at Pruven by Dynoflash and my friend with the same mods went to TurboTrix. I pulled 347whp and 352trq and he made 352whp and like 335trq. I'm not a TT customer but if I lived closer I would be.
