Cam question

Hey guys so I found an awesome deal on hks 280 cams. My question is do you think I should go with them if I will be stock turbo tuned and sometimes spray?

280s are a little exreme for a mainly stock setup, especially with daily driving

you will need to upgrade your valve train and usually 280s arent for stock turbos. just go with the kelfords 272s !

you wont see to much real advantage with 280's. Made for bigger, higher reving turbo setups. go with a 272/264 setup.

The HKS 280's pair well with the stock turbo. HKS lifts are very mild in comparison to other 280's on the market so they actually idle/drive smoother than the Kelford 272's, plus they're fully compatible and safe with the stock valve springs.
