http://store.forcedperformance.net/m...=Lancer-Engine

Anybody has experienced with these cams? Particularly with 35R turbo? How much gains compared to HKS 280's?

Unless they changed their cams they were COMP Cams. I bought FP 2 which have the same part number as COMPs. Except when I bought mine they didnt include springs but they still have the same part#.

As a side note Atlantic Motorsports had a dyno day last year when Chris from AMS was tuning cars. I freinds car and mine have almost the sme mods bught different brands of the parts. I made 336whp and 323tq at 21psi. I have the 119200 comps. He made 330whp and 333tq at 24 psi. He had HKS 272s that I installed. he even had a ported mani and hot side and I dont. Other then that all the same mods just different brands.

Correct. The 119100, 119200, 119300 are Comp 264s, 272s, and 280s respectively.

However, the FP4R are made by Comp to FPs specs. They are a different animal. According to FP, the FP4R specs on the VIII are the same as the ones posted for the IX.

Also, the specs for all of these cams are readily available on FPs site, so I'm not sure what some of you guys are talking about.

Specs I could find
4R:

Ex- Dur @ 0.50 - 224 Lift- .425
In- Dur @ 0.50 - 225 Lift- .440

(Theres a full cam card listed under the Evo IX cam section for these and larger set)

FP via phone said same specs for VIII/IX cams for 4R, didnt ask about others as I wasn't interested in them Their website says you can use these on stock springs/retainers as long as you dont go past 8k... anyone confirm this?
