Has anybody tried the Tomei, Jun or Piper cams.This same tuner said that any of there cams would walk away from the HKS 264 or 272 set-ups.I plan on using the stock turbo or Busher 's new 20G.

Thanks

Who is this tuner who said 264's are a waste of money? A large majority of Evo's run them with great results. They are perfect for the stock turbo. Not to mention a large number use the HKS's.

No actually the stockers have a smaller lift. The stockers have 10.0 intake and 9.8 exhaust as stated in another post.

i agree w/ inariv5573, the 264/264 cannot be a waste of money when its putting up similar numbers to the 272/272, and actually more torque, not to mention a smoother idle. most people say 272/272 is the way to go if you upgrade the turbo, just my 2 cents.

From what I can gather on here because there is so much conflicting info on the cam specs.

Stock

260 in 10.0mm lift
256ex 10.00mm lift

anyone else care to comment

I have the 264/264 and I think it's the best for the stock turbo.

But if you are looking for an Turbo upgrade, 272/272 or 280/280 are better.

I think some people are even running 264/264 with a 3071R, and they have great result.
