just had the EV-27 installed friday, along with an S&S super E. went with S&S adjustable pushrods, S&S lifters, & Torrington bearing. rode just under 200 mi on it sat, could really feel the differance. she dyno'd in at 55.31 hp to 68.80, and 68.52 torque to 79.66. wasnt sure how much she would gain, but feel thats a good bump up. the only other thing done was the exhaust, which my grandson and i did together last summer. ive learned on here some of the setups you guys recomend, and am happy with it so far. you guys arent kidding when you say 'youll help me spend my money' 
OK, what model Evo, what year, what was your mileage at the time of the upgrade and what, if you don't mind me asking, was the total cost for the cam related goodies without the Super E?
I think you might be right.

I know, trial and error, someone must know the effects of valve spring pressure to adjustable rods, there is that theory of shorter rods and more oil in lifters, but does that cause slack at certain rpms or crank them down to practical a solid lifter/tolerance...??.. Too many factors.
AND !!!!!! I'm still getting 30# oil pressure at a hot idle !!! GO figure....

I got the push rods used, Rivera I think, followed the directions off their website. The cam was a open box left over....I like to scrounge for the deals! If I ever have to pull the rocker boxes I'll put solids back in but I wanted to save time (an I have no experience with that stuff) an maybe try the thinner gaskets to bump compression a little.
