your car with cams will never run as good as a stock car. no matter what anyone says. if you don't care get the cams. next you will want a turbo kit and then next you will run race gas all the time like me. forget the cobb computer. just go with the stock ecu then go with the ems.

With winter coming up, I'm saving up for cams + supporting mods/retune/ and also ic pipes/fmic package. I could save up and do the cams and retune during the winter but I rather just wait till spring to get everything purchased, installed, and then get tune.

Car runs perfect with cams as long as you get it tuned. Hence the reason so many people do it. Also I would stick with stock ecu I have a htagt35r setup and am using the stock ecu.

Wow what are you people talking about. Car will run perfect with cams as long as it's tuned right. That's a good power mod as well as wfp, and all your air mods.

Ems is good but kinda too early for all that imo

DO NOT get anything cobb for ur evo. cobb is for subaru's. expecially not the access port. The evo's stock ecu is good for well up into the 500hp range. If any computer change is desired id suggest going aem ems but thats not till u have built motor and big turbo.

cams r good. turbo upgrade is good. fmic, fuel pump, injectors, boost controler, boost gauge, exhaust, intake, suspension (lower). Those should be what you should consider for now
