GSC doesn't make 280's..

Only S1's, S2's, S3's..

There hasnt been ANY back to back testing between Cosworth's and GSC S2's, which would be comparible. So as of right now, no one really knows which is the better cam. Plus it's going to depend on the rest of your setup, all you mentioned is using a 2.3. What turbo are you using?

Stock, or smaller turbo's, do the S1's. Cosworth's have lost a lot of midrange power on small turbo cars. If your doing like a 3076, 3065, 35r, something like that, then consider Cosworth or S2's.

Personally, I'd do the S2's, based purely off the expierence of both companies in working with 4G63's..

PM greg @ gsc...he'll give u tons of info.

You can also PM evom.net member tuningG, his shop Machines Gone Wild in FL installed a set of GSC's in a evo9 the other day, made good power (think he posted results in GSC forum under the vendor forums).
