BEST regarding cams is going to be different for everyone's setup. Thats like asking the best turbo, you'll get a million responses. Cams dictate the shift of the power curve, some like top end, some like low end and some like in between.

BUT if I were building a hardcore evo I would most likely do JUN272's.

I'm sure your car is running like crap with all that and no tunning...

I agree with the 1st list, and the Jun 272's, but with the Juns you need to do springs and retainers. If you don't have the money for that I'd go with the S1's or the HKS 272's. Also revolvers are next to impossible to find.

Its "intercooler" not inner , "o2 housing", not zero2 housing, "walbro" not walboro, "manual" not manuel.

Turbo back means from the turbo back and cat back means from the catalytic converter back,

Not trying to be a dick but you have much research to do before you start asking questions..... Either that or just call a shop. The best cams for you depend on your goals. For what you have, I'd say GSC s1

Can't go wrong with HKS on an 8.

-264/264--low to mid (some top)
-264/272--mid to top
-272/264--mid to top
-272/272--top end
-272/280--top end
-280/280--even more top (little low end)

Hey Joe: Your modlist is fairly mild, so I'd say that out of the cams mentioned above, maybe the GSC S1's, or the HKS 272's might be your best bet.

Incidentally, there is absolutely no need for you to install those larger injectors at this point. The stock injectors can handle anything that the stock turbo can throw at it. , with whatever mods, on pump gas, or even on race gas, or pump gas+meth. If you were running E85, then maybe you'd need the larger nozzles.

I think that Revolver Cams went out of business. There were documented reports of bad batches of these cams as well. Additionally, lousy customer service was a hallmark of the Revolver Company. Buschur used to recommend a standalone with these.
