This was the biggest power upgrade that I could actually say ,wow this made a big difference ...
Actually any cam upgrade is a big difference...
Ill say this my buddies stock sti he tested on a roll 5-60 mph was about 5.8 seconds,I tried it after my cams and got the best of 4.6 seconds,granted this is not scientific or perfectly accurate but it shows how much torque the evo has after a 264 upgrade...
didnt do a before cam test which i should of done
On a launch much better times

The #1 cause for short engine life is from detonation due to bad tuning.
