awsome comparison! How much AFR was changed after 6000? If airflow became much better with GSC, afr had to be poorer.

Hks cams are the biggest waste of money IMO! Especially if you are trying to make power. I have the 264 hks cams as my first mod! Probally gained 5hp! They should be compared to a k&n drop in filter! Lol! Gsc cams are the only cams I use. I had the s2 and now the s3. Aaron had the lope on my s2 sick and idle at 850-900 rpms. I'm interested in these cams. Aaron pm me or email me the info! Will these be better for my setup than the s3s?

AFRs were around a 12.0 on both runs.

I totally agree. They are nothing but an expensive paperweight!

Honestly on the 2.0 you might be better off with the S3s, depending on how high you rev. You may spool sooner with these cams though, due to the very aggressive ramp rate. I would suggest kigglys if you get these cams.

Also, to my knowledge, Aaron has not yet done a before and after against the S3s. He intended too but have not spoke with him in a few months about the test. Not sure if it happened but I doubt it.

S3s are still something I might do. These cams work well but are extremely difficult to get the cores sourced for. I would suspect that rather than try to be different, S3s will work equally well with only a slightly lopier idle (least on the IX with a big motor).
