The HKS 278° Exhaust Camshaft for Mitsubishi Evo VIII and IX is a high-performance component designed to enhance engine output. Crafted using CAD technology, this camshaft is engineered to optimize torque and horsepower across a broad power band, providing a significant upgrade over stock parts. Multiple profiles are available, each with distinct lift and duration characteristics to cater to various tuning needs. Lower profile options deliver substantial power gains with minimal impact on drivability, making them suitable for daily driving or moderate performance upgrades. Higher profiles are tailored for high-RPM applications, offering increased power at the expense of some low-end torque, ideal for track or racing setups. Constructed from durable materials, these camshafts ensure reliable performance under demanding conditions.

Designed specifically for Mitsubishi Evo VIII and IX models from 2003 to 2006, these camshafts are a direct upgrade for the factory exhaust cams. They are compatible with engines equipped with the appropriate valve train components and are intended for performance-oriented tuning. Installation involves replacing the stock exhaust camshaft with these high-performance units, providing an immediate boost in power and torque. The kit includes the camshaft itself, with no additional components specified. Suitable for street, track, or racing applications, these camshafts are an excellent choice for enthusiasts seeking to maximize their Evo’s engine potential through a bolt-on upgrade.

Overview

HKS developed high-performance camshafts constructed using CAD designed to optimize torque and horsepower over the widest possible power band. Each camshaft application is offered in multiple profiles, each with its own lift & duration characteristics to suit various levels of tuning. Lower profiles offer substantial gains in power and a broad useable power band with little compromise in drivability. Higher profiles offer greater increases in power but are tailored for the higher RPM range and racing applications. HKS camshafts are not reground OEM units; they are machined from new billet cores which are constructed from a high nickel content iron alloy. By manufacturing all camshafts from billet cores, HKS is able to produce camshafts that equal or exceed the quality of the OEM units they are designed to replace. HKS camshafts are direct replacements and are designed to be compatible with the factory valve train components. However, due to the higher profile of HKS camshafts, HKS high-performance valve springs are highly recommended and required in certain applications.
