INFO

For EVO 8 owners looking for a bump in power without compromising idle quality, the Comp 264+ (248/249) camshaft set does the job. Compared to the factory sticks, the Comp 264+ cams delivered over 60 more peak horsepower to the wheels. In addition, peak power rose from noticeably from 7,000 to 7,800 RPM. While there was a dip in power from 3,000 to 4,500 RPM, that loss was likely the result of the aftermarket intake manifold. With the increase in redline from 7,000 to 8,500 RPM, a valve spring upgrade is in order.

515.14 WHP @ 7,800 RPM
400.11 LB-FT @ 6,000 RPM

Peak power checked in at 7,800 RPM, with the power curve slowly dropping off past this point. Peak boost was reached at about 4,500 RPM, while a flat torque band from 4,500 to 7,000 RPM delivers a peak torque figure of just over 400 lb-ft of torque. Peak torque came in at 6,000 RPM. The highest VE values were recorded at 6,500 RPM. VE figures superior to the factory sticks spanned from 4,000 RPM and beyond.
