well then you've got your answer, i have never heard of anyone really happy about their results so IMO i would have never gotten them, i would just get rid of them, sounds to me like they're causing more trouble than they are worth. good luck man, hopefully once you kick'em to the curb your car will run a lot nicer

oh and did you ever put your stock ones back in?

Get teh 272's, they are rpoven and have run 9's, I have them, I have only head BAD THINGS about teh Revolver cams, you just added more, keep the retainers and spings if you can, get some 272's, thay add anywhere from 15-50WHP if tuned right.


I went from 300WHP to 350, hehe

Thumbs up

Tomei cams are the hotness. if your'e keeping the stock turbo, go with the 260 combo. if you don't care about drivability & know a good tuner, get the 270's. if you're gonna do a stroker, new turbo, new ecu, etc... get the 280's.


Works 269 cams are very torquey on the stock turbo as well.


HKS does make power & is ok but everybody has them. i say be different though.

It sounds like a lot of hating on Revolver. I know of some very credible people making tons of low end power on the stock turbo with these cams.

I also saw many of them offer to help, yet I keep seeing threads like this. !!??

I'd actually trade my HKS 264's for them and go straight to KTR for a killer tune if I had the time or money.

Depends on what your looking for: If u want a stock like idle and goos bottom end torque, go with 264/264. If u want a little bit more mid to top end, while sacrificing ur idle a little bit, go with the 264/272 setup. If u plan on upgrading ur turbo and don't really mind a lopey idle, go with the 272/272 setup. IMO i would opt for the GSC cams and save urself a $50-100. If u go with the GSC setup, go with 272/264.
