IX owners with upgraded cams
I have a IX and am considering putting in aftermarket cams. After doing searches Im hearing stuff like IX's have bigger cams anyway its not worth it and VIII's are responsive to cams and they make a big difference, IX's not so much save your money. Anyone have the real scoop on IX cams and which ones do you use?

It also depends on your application of use. If you want to road course get a mild cam for gain in the midrange and spool. If you want to drag race make sure to get a big cam. I gain about 20ish hp from cams alone (stock turbo)

i was confused the same way with Mivec cams and non-mivec evo 8 cams....I have an Evo 9 and currently doing a 800whp build, am going with GSC S2s for street use and hugeee mid-range to Up-top power !!! If you're going with stock appearing turbos like Fp Green/Red...stick with stock cams or perhaps GSC S1s....better yet, ask Greg from GSCmotorsports....Great Guy !
