Can't decide which cams to get. HELP

I have searched about the subject but i still need some help deciding. I wanna know what you guys think would better i am running stock turbo mods are mbc, exhaust,cat delete, downpipe, intake, bov intercooler, and walbro255 and tt custom flash. what do you think is better for this set up 264 272 or 272 272. Also do you think its worth it to go for jun or revolvers and get some springs or get some hks cams and keep the stock springs. Thanks for your input.

I went with GSC 272/272 they idle great they are the best price especially if you buy from link below. At the track before cams I went 12.42@111 with the cams I went 12.14@114. I’m very happy with them.

another cam thread lol.

You can't go wrong with straight 272's. Revolvers are on backorder...and Juns are quite expensive... if you had a bigger turbo and wanted to squeeze that last bit of power you could get I would say go with JUN's.

i think im goin with the gsc's also (272/272). from what ive heard (from Buschur) you really need a stand alone for the revolvers. they dont work well with just a flash

i have HKS 264/272, idle is great and has never stalled. from the other local guys dyno sheets this combo seems to make more tq with almost the same HP up top as straight 272's. I like this setup for my stock turbo 05...

You can get Brian Cower cams from Horsepower Freaks for $300 brand new. They are exactly identical to HKS in every way. Check 'em out, that is one steal of a deal.

yea i've heard people recommend springs or springs and retainers, but i've also hear that there is no need with either hks or crower as long as you don't exceed 8000 rpm. CAn anyone confirm that for me.

on horsepowerfreaks.com is shows for stage 3 (280's) you need springs and retainers, but not with the 272's....Jax you can get the brian crowers for 305 i think it is. thats a bit less expensive than the helix's

you can get a set of crowers from jscpseed for 564 or hks for 319 each or gsc for 245 each. Why is it that the gsc are so much cheaper than the other two? Are you just paying for the name or is hks and crower a better cam than gsc?

Crowers are $300 FOR A PAIR, that is 1/2 as much as every other cam set out there; and they are completely identical to HKS, ask HPF...
