from what i have heard if you get the gsc or hks cams you dont need new springs or retainers but i have heard that it is also a good idea to get head studs when doing cams since your motor is all apart and everything so that is what i am going to do, cams and headstuds at the same time. headstuds are a good failsafe for later when you add more boost to your engine.

Do you know of anyone close to where I live that can help me install some cams when I get them???

Also, if I got BC 272 cams would I need to upgrade the springs and retainers or are the stock ones ok?

Don't you have to remove the head inorder to install head studs???

gainsville... hmm.. couple choices..

i lived in tampa for a couple years so i know a couple shops there... i think thats a little over an hour drive...

or you could go to ttp in orlando... they specialize in evo's ( first choice) if something happens, i can garentee that theyll help you out and not **** u over.. i plan on getting my gsc from them and doing the install and tune for those and my alky kit that is on the way... need to give them a buzz and check out some numbers soon.

or if ya message "sleet" hes up in jacksonville, good guy, im sure he can help you out.. i know his first choice is billet design because its local shop down here in south florida..


honestly... i would buy the alky... buy the cams... then have them installed and tuned at one time... cause your just gonna spend 200-300$ a second time to get tuned.. might as well as do it once and save some money..


hit me up if ya need anything, i'm not a pro, but i'm familiar with this topic


cheers!

Thanks for the recommendation.

GSC 280 280 cams are pretty nasty. I am really liking these units. We can install them and custom tune your Evo which it sounds like is your best bet.

I have personally installed 81 sets of Evo cams. One more set would be no problem.

Just pmed you TTP

I went with Helix V2 272 cams from Gruppe-s. I don't plan on buying any head studs or valve train because I don't plan to rev past 7000rpms.

The question was which will make "more power" and a car running alky will walk a car with cams all day long the hotter the better. The beating gets even worse when you are limited to 91 octane for both cars.
