I'm leaning towards the ceramic coat fo rmy EVO t-header. That video rocks although I know I need a cam and a bit more compression to sound as good.

If I had to do it over I would have stuck with just the cam.
Best bang for your buck on our evos IMO.

Yep, I were to do it over I would skip the high compression pistons. Sounds better and gives it a little more oomph, but the trade-off is its more finicky to tune and premium gas only.
Knowing what I know now, it would be a K&N filter in stock housing, an EV27or EVL3010 cam, and 2-1 exhaust. Noticeably more grunt, and virtually stock reliability.

Thanks for info. I did my rocker boxes last summer with the good rubber factory gaskets, I may try and get away with popping them off rather than adjustables. I'm just really having a hard time with the gear swap and measuring clearance shim etc.

I'd buy new gaskets they are cheap and I like new gaskets when I work on something.

Any specific questions or do you want my number and I can talk you through it when it is time?
