I gained 28 HP from my previous tune on Shiv's Dyno Dynamics after cam install. I'm currently at 280HP with my current setup. Stock Turbo on 91 octane crap gas.

I have revolver cams. I'm so glad I did not go with any other cam. O and if you love the loppy idle lol these cams deffenently deliver. Plus I made sick power... I hope there still a good cam for my 50trim kit...

Yes, that is a fine plan.

All I can do is speak from installation experience, but we went to install shift_fast (evom member) cams of this make and duration and just like the compcams problems with the cam angle sensor bolt hole not being drilled and tapped correctly, these suffered from the same problem and would spin freely in the cam.

Needless to say I swapped in my OWN personal GSC 280 280's from my shopcar MR so he would have a nice set of performance cams. Otherwise he would have wasted a 2 hour trip for an install that could not have been completed.

I like my HKS 264/264. They were a big difference on the stock turbo. On my initial tune I made about 284hp/260trq with intake, turboback exhaust and boost controller. On my second tune I had an aftermarket exhaust manifold, O2 outlet and 264/264 cams and made 320hp/300 trq.

I have 272 xs engineering cams. I absolutely love them. I felt a day and night change throughout the rpm range and they do not require springs and retainers. I got them from the evostore.com site I paid like 500 for them

I have HKS 272's and love them- there was definitely a very noticeable difference in power (especially 4th/5th gear) when they went on. If I had it to do over, I'd probably go with the 280s though. If you're going to do it, do it big!
