Tomei 280's
Jun 280's

Any of those should satisfy your power needs.

If it's just top end power than the S3 will do the trick. on the 37 and a stroker it should work out nicley. for more tq and midrange below 6500 i don't think you can get a better cam than the S2.

I did 264s and the midrange "feels" a little more responsive than stock.

On my current set up, my optimum shifting points are right at 6900. I did some comparisons on where I want to go power-wise (roughly 440-450whp) and that will increase my optimum shifting points to roughly 7400. Would you still recommend the S2s in light of this? Thanks.

Well I need advice on cam choice for my evo 8. I'm currently running HKS 272's on a typical stock turbo setup. Well for this year I'm going with a FP Red turbo and some goodies to go with it. My power goal is 500whp on stock motor. So everyone on this forums say Kelford 272's are the way to go with a bigger turbo but I was leaning more towards to GSC S2's. I know I can get them both for a very good price and I know I have to upgrade my valve springs. But according to this original test the GSC were right behind the Kelford. I just want to make the right decision the first time.

Im in the same boat as u: power goal of 500whp on Red on e85 or race gas BUT I wanna upgrade to Kelfords instead of those S2s. (Not that GSC sucks, in fact, I have the old 272s pre-S series). I just want something more, and according to the tests, Kelfords tops them all.

Well the good thing for me is I have a few months before I need to purchase the cams so I'm just going to have to bother some tuners
