**Mivec CAMS**

Been thinking about running the Cosworth M2's. For now the car is on the stock IX turbo. I am going to run the car with a 35r setup eventually next year. So I would hate to step backwards if you know what I am saying.

I guess what i'm saying is... Y shouldn't I run a set of sayyy, Brian Crowers for half the price?

You pay for what you get...I wouldn't go cheap on cams...they are kind of a big deal...BC won't perform like Cosworths, GSCs, or Kelford....

Brian Crowers lose power on E9. Horrible cams. M2's proven.

Kelfords seem to perform well on a IX i tuned a while back... How do they differ from the m2's?

Ok, I guess what I am really asking this time is are the cosworth's the best cam out there since they are the most expensive?

Search button is your best friend...Kelford's are still performing well...I personally think your best 3 options for Mivec cams are the ones I listed above, GSC's, Cosworth's & Kelford's....

For the IX don't forget about the FP4R, these are my personal favorites for the IX since the low and mid-range is so strong, plus they don't snap. Assuming GSC has their snapping issue corrected like they claim the S2 is also a great choice for a larger turbo IX.

FP4R FTW. I know two guys around my town running these and they are making great power. I also heard about the S2K, but I would take the FP4R myself.

Either way I think the money is better spent elsewhere on an evo 9
