If you are going to replace the cams why not replace the factory springs while the head is off? Makes no sense to do all the work for the cams and leave the stock springs and risk having a floating valve.
Torque is what kills the MR tranny and the our blocks but for basic bolt-ons with cams everything will be good. The stock MR tranny clutches could hold up to 399tq without a problem.

The only person that cammed a Evo X from my knowledge here in HI is Tai. If you are wondering if it makes a big difference Yes it does. Tai gain 40hp if I remember correctly.

jesus you gotta pull the head to do cams? Da fuq lol. sorry for my lack of searching.........but i dont think i have ever seen a car where u have to pull the head to do cams lol. That sounds like a *****. I might as well just have ARP head studs and all that jazz put in to......Hell if im takin the head off might as well drop it by sniders for a nice port and valve job. God......I hate u jose lol. now ur giving me all these crazy idea's..... I was looking at the kelford cams..but guess i have more research to do.

For ours cars you dont have to pull the head off but you have to take off almost everything else lol. Unlike the 8s and 9s our cars are run by timing chains. So you have to remove almost everything in the side. Sorry I should have explain more what I meant lol.
That will be bad *** if they will do that for you.
Have no problem helping you but I will not be able to sell my A-pillar until my replacement is here. What I ordered is made to order so it will be a while.
