I heard if you ask Chad he personally prefers S2 or Kelford 272's.....it seems to really get good power with all of the stock appearing turbos it's seems like those two are the best to go with.

LOL he has been for a ride in my car I think the peak hp of bigger cams got him hooked....trust me he has called me and I have tried to explain to him for his setup plans I think he would prefer the S1's but he told me that Chad prefers the S2's over the S1's....so I think that is good advice.

I know Chad said they did a bunch of testing with different cams in Calebs car before he sold it. Shoot him an email and see what he likes. I "think" he said s2's when I was there? I know they didnt see any HUGE gains ont the IX's with cams though. Not like the VIIIs anyways. Thats why I went BBK first and didnt do cams yet. Ill throw a set in later, and it will be whatever Chad and Mark like best whenever I do.

I asked Chad already about the cams. He said he "prefers s2's but s1's are an excellent choice." I am just trying to get opinions. If I go s2's then I have to purchase springs and the labor cost of installing them. Again, is it worth it. Basically all in all I am going to spend up to 1/k on them probably with cost and labor. (475 cams, 200 springs, ? labor) The s1's I can pop in myself its an easy install, I never did cams but it seems fairly cut and dry. The valvetrain installation is another ball game and I would rather pay someone to it.

Yes I would rather you do the S2's as well I really don't feel like hiding from you calling me to help you if you do the S1's

yeah the s2 will get you a little bit more, but why do cams twice? and remember, youll lose a little bit of idle quality, and drive-ability with bigger cams.

you already have cams, so i say keep em. i mean, you could always sell the s1's, but youre still going to lose money.

Well I have to see. Spending an 600 bucks for the install and springs can also go into something like porting the exhaust mani etc. if keep the s1's. DBaLLz don't worry your gonna be helping me with my o2 anyway pal!

Oh I don't have either yet LOL
Maybe for the VIII's.....you can't make that same statement about the IX's.
