You've got most of your other stuff from Buschur, why not run there cams as well? I hear a lot of people making good power with them.

Jun 272's FTW!! The BR cams are supposed to be very close to the Juns and the BR cams are cheaper and im sure easier to get.. so either or I guess

You told us the mods but you havent said what your doing with it. Street car, road race, drag, autox, different cam for different purposes.

Are you going to be upgrading your head? (valves, retainers,springs)

I have an upgraded Supertech Valvetrain and I went with GSC S2's, Ill have them installed early January.

Look into the Fp cams man, there badass for the money! Kelfords are badass too.

I wouldn't get the BF272's if you plan to degree your cams, no cam card no info. If you don't plan to degree your engine for safety reasons and want a drop in straight up cam the BF272's all the way, they look just like my Juns but cost $250 less!

lots of good cams out there...if you have the buschur stage 3 head I highly recommend the BF272, that combination kicks ***.

Not trying to take way from the OP but I'm on stock turbo and looking at cams. By after winter i will have about all the bolt ons. It will be a daily driven every single day and i plan to do a few road courses with it to. What cams would you guys recommend me that will give me good power but won't screw up drivability.

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 would suggest the S2 camshafts if you have or will install valve springs. and the S1s if you want to stay on the stock springs.

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.

Pretty satisfied with my HKS cams. Recommended if your car is daily driven.
