I was looking at the GSC S1 cams but on the AMS website it only managed to increase horsepower by 14 and Torque by 13 with most of the bolt ons i will have. Unless they didn't tune the car after they installed the cams don't see how it can only make 13hp more.
I have the WORKS 269 cams, IMO they are very nice, I was able to make 356WHP and 336 lbs/ft of torque on 93octane with them. I had spots in my curve where I gained 90whp and 95 lbs/ft of torque!!Stock '03 VIII turbo/engine. I say had because I have rebuilt the engine from the ground up and upgraded the turbo/intercooler. I am still using the WORKS cams, but the car hasn't seen a dyno yet. I will post numbers when the car goes to AMS for tune. I am curious to see how my setup WORKS (pun intended)

the bf272s are nothing like the jun 272s, different lobe design, different lifts, and durations. We cam profiled a set that was sent in to be checked out.

To be honest the jun 272s were really great 5 years ago but no changes have been made to them and are now being left behind by some of us that keep progressing on the 4G63.
The Juns dont really seem to be getting left behind from what ive personally seen. GSC cams are great cams as well and are proven to be so... heck I had the S1s with my stock turbo and got great gains off them and loved them on that setup!! And I know you have loyalty to them of course as there your cams and all lol . But I have seen the Juns make more power then some of these "new cams" that are out today.


I wish AMS would have put up some results of the Juns on there cam test... thats all I will say That and theres a reason I run them.

What about Kelford 272?, I've heard they're the best in 272 shafts.-

I deffinatly wouldnt say theres a BEST 272 cam period... as there are alot of variables in there as what "Best" can mean and what setup there on. Stroker or standard 2.0... built with ported head and intake manifold of many choices.. or stock block with stock head/intake... the list goes on and on.

BC 280, didn't put them in becase everyone said they were way to aggressive for my stock like set-up.
