From what I've read here, the GSC's seem to have impressed more people on this network than HKS, I don't know what GSC did but I did spot something pecular, look very closely at the lobe, I think there lies the secret.


Also I've seen more complaints on GSC's but I think the reason for this is the fact that those who have purchaced the GSC's for budget and not for power are more likely to have taken short cuts on the installation. But of course, correct me if I'm wrong.

I'd go with GSC but since they don't make 280s then I have to go with HKS.

I have the GSC 272/264. The power delivery has been fantastic! I've been running on these for 6 months with no problems. GSC also has excellent customer service!

gsc.. awesome power. If you can get the same thing for the same amount of money.. plus superior customer service for a cheaper product then gsc is a good deal.

46WHP gain by upgrading from stock to GSC 264's and a re-tune.

edit: Still using stock cam gears

To those who are running the GSC cams did you bother to put on cam gears?

I am looking at getting the GSC 272/264 cams with some findanza cam gears.
Reason I am asking is because I rarely see anybody, except XEDE users, run cam gears with their cam shafts.

Thanks,
Nathan

46WHP on top of what you made with the HKS or you made 46WHP with the GSC?
