Buy S2's you wont regret it! Its not too much cam for a stock turbo. And GSC just revamped the S2 cams for the IX also.

No just springs...get GSC beehive springs as they work w/ your stock retainers.

If I had to do it over again, I would have bought S2's over my S1's

^ What are the benefits of each? I would stay with the stock cams with the stock turbo. I highly doubt you are overworking the stock boom sticks.

Green isnt doing it for me anymore. I traded it for a stocker and a carbon hood for the time being, though I will be going to another upgraded stock appearing in the near future.

In the meantime, yeah the stock turbo record looks like more fun

I know it's not stock turbo but I have HKS 272's on my stock turbo and I'm upgrading those sticks to S2's in preparation for my FP red

I bought my S1's when they first came out. I had one of the first few batches i think. Back then, it was made clear to get S1's for stock turds and S2's for anything bigger than a 50trim. Then S3's for extreme applications.

It's been proven that S2's go well with stock appearing turds. For now, I'm keeping the S1's.

Get the S2's they are awesome you will feel a major difference in power, mid and top, also that loss in low end over the S1's is a myth i felt no loss whatsoever when I got mines.
GSC S2 FTMFW.
