Modify my 88"
The search is out of order so I figured I would just ask.
I want to up the HP and Torque of my 88" and I am not interested in going bigger at this time. I am going to do head work, add a SERT and dyno tune. What cams should I be going with? I am looking to make 95 to 100 HP and Torque. I have changed exaust to the V&H 2 into 1.

My opinion ,If you are going to take heads off for work,spend the $300 and do the 95 inch.As for cams here are a few to look at ,andrews 37's,woods 6's and hq 0034 etc..To get good numbers you need to have heads done to match what ever cam you use.Just my 2 cents

RE: Modify my 88"
On my evo I had Baisley performance in Portland Or do my head work with a .560 crane cam and 240&246 duration and put out 85 HP. It wasn't a radical build. Talk with Dan Baisley at Baisley performance, he is goiing to do the work on my 88TC next year. I believe he can get you those numbers. Otherwise I would suggest looking at a Woods cam. You should fine Baisley Performance on your pc search. Hope this helps.

RE: Modify my 88"
I have a bone stock 88 with Rinehart TD's and SE a/c on my '04 EG with Head-Quarters HQ-0034 bolt in cams that provide 80/90 hp/tq; with your better stock heads and larger throttle body, you would be at 90+/90+ hp/tq with no headwork and the 2-into-1 pipe with the same cams. Given your objectives, you will get very close with just the cam swap and a good SERT tune.
As for cam selection, that will depend in large part on how your heads are set-up effecting CR.
Also, I'd have to be very sure I wasn't going to go to a 95", 103", etc. before I had the heads cut for an 88" because there is a good probability that what you do now won't work later with the later engine mods.

You should look at a 95 in. for those numbers,a good cam choice is macky510,ET performance will modify your heads+give you D ports, gear drive is a good idea at this time.Good Luck

RE: Modify my 88"
If you are going to be doing headwork, it only makes sense to do the 95" upgrade while you are right there. It's only about $250 for pistons and having your cylinders bored..........and you'll be right there with the heads off.
Why stay at 88" and be disappointed after you get it all back together.
