Cosworth or GSC
If you will recall I was one of the first to comment positively about their cams for the Evo 8
I can not help it if I like Cosworth products
If I see something else I like I will refer it in a positive manner also

I personally will choose the gsc cams not because I am dealer for them but because the quality of the cams. The first time I put my hands on a set of the gsc cams I was amazed by the quality and material for the price the greg offered them at. Now if you have the money to just throw around than get the cosi's but by the looks of it I would go with the gsc because from my experience and my customers experiences that have already had the gsc or purchased them from me they seem very very very very sastified and looks like the best bag for the buck. Also if you ever had problems with the cams greg and his staff are very helpful and are always availible. Just a thought to think about instead of going through a 3rd party dealer for cosi and getting the run around for 3 months until something is solve. Cosi's are just as good but are pretty expensive. We can go around and around debating which is better but not whose is better or how much it cost. Its all about the tune lol

Just for my info - what kind of problems have you had with cams ?
I have installed many hundreds of sets of HKS and never seen any problems with any cams
Cosworth has a US office in Cali who sells the products here

I was just saying if they did have problems not just during installation. I had a problem recently with a set of cams that customer had brought me and he didnt open the box until he got to the shop and they were cracked in half due to poor shipment securement and UPS didnt cover it. So now the company says that they were his fault not because of shipping and the story goes on and on and the final verdict was to send the cams to japan to see what happen and when you send things to japan you dont get things back for months.

i already have an eflashed car and actually i got 298/306 at the Shop's Dynoday last Saturday. If i install the cossie cams, should i expect a 50awhp increase or less?
My car was 20awhp down from the strongest IX dynoed there,, which actually had a test pipe and custom flash. I have a HFC and an eflash.
What gains do you reckon i would get by getting the cossie cams and a retune from you?
BTW - for those interested we are dynoing a Stage II Evo IX (Stock Turbo) this evening - 93 octane and meth
With Cosworth cams
It previously made some 360 whp on our Dyno dynamics so it will be curious to see how the new cams effect the power band
We like to test things and show hard facts

Have you done any testing on these cosi with a 35R? Also could I expect similar gains like what you showed for the stock 9 turbo.....

I'm ready to order my cams and wanted to see how this shakes out. I've got a BR StageII IX, and will be putting on meth, DLI-II ignition, and a coated ebay housing (from BR) this weekend. Man, those cams are right up my alley judging from your results. Nice job!

. Trust me they are out there. I wasnt knocking on anyone cams I was just saying I prefer the GSC's because the quality and I personaly feel from my experience and my customers experiences that the GSC's are your best bang for your money but like I said if you have the money for the cosi's go ahead they are good but I favor the GSC's.

Well they're plenty out there HKS replicas that are sold on ebay and I can go on and on and on. I worked for plenty of shops and even dealers that seen defective cams come straight from the company. Maybe you just been lucky or they really like you . Trust me they are out there.
