Most data pointed to the poor quality springs that were sold with these cams as a set and not the cams themselves. Nevertheless, there are so many available quality cam choices nowadays there's no sense in hunting down a set of these.

Bottom line is that I wish the Revolver Cams were still being manufactured, as I would kill to try a set with my Green. It's my feeling that this was the best grind out there for the 20G turbos, including the Green and the White Rabbit, etc.

I am sure that whoever buys evodan2004's cams will get a sound set. In fact, I think that there is already a wait list for his particular set of Revolver cams. I am just not positive that I'd advise these cams with a stock 16G myself. With a 20G, for sure though.

My GSC280s with a WR9 are amazing. The turbo spools early and the cams carry the top end.

I have had a few sets of cams in my car while tuning on 91 octane....

for best streetabilty: gsc s1

to mild: cosi m2's

to wild: jun 272/bf272/gsc s2

i have yet to run the "wild" cams, but i plan to in the near future.

i have run the s1's & currently have the m2's in the car....the m2's offer a bigger hit when the power comes on & holds power better up top (see 415whp dyno graph link for cam compare below), but the s1's are a great all-around camshaft & idle very smooth....nice when a police car is sitting next to you @ a light.

depends on what you want.

I just installed HKS 264's, and really like them. I wanted the power where I use it most, in the midrange, thats why I went with the smaller cam. It all depends on what you want the car to do.
