im new here, and just got an evo, and im looking to do cams also. i am shooting for 450 wheel on pump and meth eventually, with most likely a 30r, so would the gsc2 cams be the best ones to run with? or could i scoop up someones used gsc1's

And a built head.
According to Ted B in another thread about big cams, you won't see full potential from the S2's on a stock head. I plan to pull my head off soon and have it gone through.
BTW, I made the switch from HKS 272's to GSC S2's. I would recommend it.

I guess I wanna know if the power I do get from the S2's is gunna still make me grin and then again when I get a new turbo, becasue I really dont wanna have to get a new set of cams when I get this new turbo in a few months...I understand that the test mule was a race motor with a built head but how much performance am I gunna see out of stock turbo and stock head...I want a grin from ear to ear when I turn the key and take off

^Yes, it will make you grin, b/c there are tons of people running the s2's on stock VIII and IX turbos making just as much if not more power than on s1's. And when you upgrade to a 35r or whatever you decide to go w/ they will do way more than the hks 272's will. The HKS's are good cams, but there are def alot better cams out there that deliver power all over the rpm range.

definitely go with the GSC S2 they work great with the stock turbo/head and will work great with upgraded turbo/head. You will need upgraded springs though whereas with the HkS 272 or even 280's you can use the stock springs.
