Question gsc s2 cams?

Im going to be buying cams soon. im thinking about going with the gsc s2. but a lil concerned if ill lose power because i only have an fp green. s1's would prob be more suitable but.. i plan on buying a bigger turbo setup in the future and dont want to have to change my cams out again. Any opinions welcome. Thanks!

Depends on what turbo, displacement, and overall power goal on what fuel. I still strongly suggest the S2 as I have not seen it lose power anywhere ever. I will look for the dyno sheets and show what I mean

DX has a B series or is it that mean of a single?

DX is the bottom of the barrel, came stock with a single cam motor, manual trans, windows, locks. No sunroof and a cassette player if you're lucky.

i feel the S2 is the perfect cam for most cars in the 380-500whp level on our dyno!

Thanks I have owned 2 His "drive" thing says 655whp DX. I know of a few 600+whp SOHCs (my favorite Honda motor) but typically for that power most people run a B series swap or H2B.

The whole dx thing is just a joke i actually have an ex dont even know why i put dx. not hatin on honda cause they can be fast as hell. just hatin on the normal honda drivers(intake and muffler with some stickers=fast) and people that try and race me in my honda like its a race car or somethin.

yea im looking to swap out my hks 272's for a pair of these myself and upgrade the springs and retainers aswell. hopefully that will set me over in to the 400whp range and i can finally be happy. just got my car retuned tuseday to make 393whp by ER( thanks guys having a blast in it), but that 400 mark isnt to far away from me lol.
