Cams for EVO 8; keeping stock turbo.

I've been reading around about which cams extract the most power, but most of the posts are for evo 9's or upgraded turbos. Which cams are the best for basic mods on my EVO 8; turbo back exhaust, tune, mbc (soon), and intake? Probably will change the 02 housing and possibly IC piping. I'd like to stay with Bushcur for all my parts, but I haven't found much written about their cams. So far it sounds like 272/272 is a good bet, but not sure on which brand.

If you are staying with the stock turbo, I would suggest GSC S1's. Do a search on them and I am sure it won't take to long before you consider them a strong option.

Check this out...http://www.amsperformance.com/camtest.php

I know it's not an Evo but it's still a 4g63 w/ a 16g turbo.

Let me know what you think. Do you have a dyno before to tell you how much of a gain? What about a post cam dyno... any plans for that? Keep me posted.

That is kind of what I'm getting out of hours of mindless research on here. But I would like to know more about the Buschur cams. I've read a couple posts on here, but there's not a lot of feedback. Everyone who has them is probably too busy tearing someone a new one to post anything.

I would either go with GSC S1's or HKS 272's. BR/dynoflash recommend HKS 272's. they both would be great for stockish turbo.
