You are right on the blanks and it took me 4-5 months to get my cams. However, mine were more than 575 and I didn't have to pay full price. I think they are 800 for a regular customer but not 100% sure. The cams I'm running are more aggresive than JUNs fyi but I'm not giving out the specs. Not sure that Gregs wants them out on the market right now. sorry...

Weird idle sometimes, midrange felt soft. Switched to the s2's and the car drives like a stock car again. Smooth idle, off idle throttle feels nice and smooth and the car trapped mid 140s on a very conservative tune. Mind you it was a 6262 at 40psi on a quartermaster but as stock driving as it can get for 700+hp.

Great Thread, just finished reading. I guess im on the late train, but GREAT work AMS! So this might be why i see new greddy easy cams go on Ebay for about what one might pay for an intake kit?

How much for the hks cams? lol

what do you mean it felt rough? i have kelfords and my car seems fine. im curious what you mean. the only negative i have to say regarding kelfords is they are prone to create phantom knock because they make so much damn valvetrain noise.

Hi guys,a month has passed since ive installed a GSC S2 camshafts and i just wonder why my turbo still kick in late around 3,700rpm and when the turbo kicks in, ive a massive knock (60~80) shown on my PFC commander.
Why?
Btw, ive not re-tune my ride yet...
Is this normal? or should i advance or retard the cams deg or just follow according to GSC spec's in order to achieve low end & mid range response???

Thanks Guys, i'll re-tune my car asap but again how about the cams setting?
Anyone knows what is the best setting for GSC S2 cams on stock turbo in order to achieve great low and mid end torque and hopefully improve turbo spooling.

Or should i just follow the cams setting spec's from GSC for my S2 cams?

Thanks
