> Cams (HKS, 264 or 72, forgot even though I installed them), air intake, full catless exhaust, injectors, IC pipes, fuel pump, tune. I drove it right after it made 290 on Moons dyno and I was impressed. felt like a 105-108 car as I remember.

how old are the cams? everything else looks good, however the car should go easy 110+ even on the 9.8 housing.

Cams were ordered and installed by me in Sept 08. Yeah, when I first drove it after parts/tuning, it felt strong. Drove it last night, didnt feel as healthy as before. He’s gonna bring it over for a compression check and new plugs soon.

there have been quite a few cam regrinds since then… if i was him i’d prolly take those hks’s out, put some new kelford 272’s, a 10.5 hotside and a retune and it should go pretty good… my buddy had an 04 VIII with those early hks cams, tune, intake/exhaust and went 114…

I’m more curious as to why the car is not running like it was before. Gonna find/fix that, and then point him in the right direction on making it faster. What should it trap (it made 290 on Moons Mustang dyno)?

there are much better cams out. Kelfords 272 or the GSC power division stage 2 (274\*) then you get into the more aggressive FP line.

HKS 280s are great but the GSC s2’s make about the same power with a better idle characteristic due to less overlap.  
FP4R

stay away from BC junk.

you can drop that “too” pal. when youve got the hours into working on cars that i do, we can talk. ive done my evo homework for many years. since they arrived on our shores ive had my hands in them in some way. ive done my time with DSM’s as well.
