I bought a set of GSC S3 cams for a great price. These will be going on my Evo IX with a 6262 setup. Curious on people's thoughts of these...

 

I'm pretty sure you're going to need a set of solid lifters to use those cams. You'll also need a set of valve springs and retainers at the very least. I'm also pretty sure you're going to need a bit more compression and ability to rev to really get what you need out of them. Are you building your block?

 

^^depends on witch s3's op got... 290 s3's require solid lifters and the 280 s3's can use the stock hydraulic lifters

 

they are the 280s. and yes i have a built 2.0 shortblock sitting under my pool table . howards rods, je 2618 pistons, etc

 

i asked greg@gsc about them. on a setup like that they will make 10-20hp over the s2's and lose power on the bottom and catch up only after 5,500-6,000rpm or so. to me its not worth the losses to only see 10-20hp up top.

 

Awesome. You were kind of vague in your first post. Sorry for telling you stuff you already knew. lol

 

Holy Hell bro that is a big setup.

 

Haha yea I am looking for 650 maybe more on pump and meth.

 

He needs something big to keep up with his brothers 350z.

 

get kelford 280's they make big power
