i was wondering whether to get a 272 or a 280 cam? what else will i need besides a tune to run them?

 

Asking a question like this and not listing mods, and Hp and 1/4 times is pointless and makes offering advice impossible.

 

Which 272 or 280? A JUN / Buschur 272 is MUCH more aggresive than an HKS 280, but the HKS 280 is more aggresive than an HKS 272...

 

i was thinking of the HKS 272, but maybe i will just go with the HKS 280. Still have a while to think, im gonna buy them around Christmas. what would you guys recommended for aggressive street use.

 

272 for sure, 280 nly gives like 5 more hp and has a rough idle, and more expensive, not worth it.

 

check out the gsc cams. they offer three different stages for your mods and application.

 

i would go with the gsc, but i am definitely doing more modding in the future. i am only 17 and pay for my car myself, so the moding is coming alone slowly. thanks for the help. im guessing the 272's will be best for now.

 

gsc's are reasonably priced. arn't they cheaper than the hks? the s1 cam will be good for the stock turbo up to the gt35. what mods do you have now? do the boltons first before you worry about a bigger cam. sorry i just read your sig. do you have a tune yet?

 

no i dont have a tune yet. i was waiting for some more mods first. i was thinking of getting a intake, hard intercooler piping, turbo XS FMIC, Downpipe, test pipe. than i was gonna get a reflash and tune. should i get it dyno and tuned sooner?

 

if you are going to buy all those parts at once wait to get a tune. in my opinion i would go with buscher or ams parts. get what you mentioned and get a tune. the cams are only going to add 15-20 hp. with the bolt ons and a tune you will have a totally different car

 

with your mods i guess GSC S1 whitch is 268 will be a better i dea then the 272's or 280's


i have them on and am so happy and every one have them happy too

overall they are cheaper like 540$ and they will not have this rough idle too

 

exactly what he said.

 

hks/buddyclub/gsc 280 cams make great power & you can pick them up used for ~$350-, however a good tune is neccessary to make them fine for city driving/idling.

otherwise 272's or any 272/264 or 264/272 combo will suffice. it just depends on where you want to go as far as power is concerned.

 

280's

I have 272's......Sat in car with 280's could not tell difference in the idle.....


GO Big or Go Home....Dont do things twice is my Opinion....

 

Oh and fuel pump and Tune...With 3 inch turbo back exhaust and you be straight......be in the mid 12's with race fuel or meth....maybe high 11's
