which is the best camshaft for evo?

hks?
tomei?
other?

thanks

 

i heard that jun cams offer more torque so there for drive trian problems start earlier
but hks i would buy with out a dought hey thier evo has over 600 going to the ground hummmmm
i'll take them

 

ill try to decipher what was said above.....


anyway, I have the HKS, and love them, very high quality.

 

The JUN evo holds the most track records out of any evo... I also think it would destroy the HKS evo I like JUN because they are supposed to be of higher qualitly... although I've never used either so my opinion means nothing

 

oh and thats road courses not drag strips... thought i shoudl clarify.

 

After testing all the available cams on my car - I run the Jun 264 - and I say that having no connection to JUN and not being able to even sell them

 

Any experience with JUN vs. HKS you can comment on eg, torque, power, idle etc??

 

I had and sold both HKS set ups - Pruven is running the JUn 272 and I am running the JUN 264 that should tell you which cams dynoed the best

 

Hey Al,

All your cars are heavily modded though compared to most of us. Would you recommend 264 JUN cams with the stock turbo and valvetrain?

 

Dynoflash did you try any Tomei cams ??

 

I was under the impression the JUN cams would not be streetable due to their higher lifts - you'd need to beefen up the drivetrain first.

But I could be wrong for all I know.

 

IMO i prefer HKS , they make reliable power for a daily driven .
I have seen jun cams for other applications snap on 5 pieces . Just the fact , the cams snap doesn't make me want to run that type of chance for a few xtra hp . They do make nice gains , but not worth it. I wonder how Toda will compare went they come out with cams for the Evo

 

thanks for all your reply.i decided to buy the hks 264.

do i need a adjustable cam gear or use back the stock one?
do i need to change the valve springs and retainers as well?
do i need extra injector or higher cc injector?

 

I too have seen about 3 sets of JUN cams snap. I also will not be running them because of that reason.

 

Oh guys stop with the Jun cams snapping. I've seen the posts on Honda-tech and other forums and the causes for those failures could have been anything. Could have been improper installation, improper tuning, timing etc... The causes were unknown BUT the outcome was the same in all situations, JUN USA warrentied there stuff. They paid for the cams and sent them new ones even though the problems could have been caused by something else.

JUN's customer service has always been top notch and thats more than I can say for HKS. I've heard that HKS will alway try and swindle out of a warrenty issue (why aren't they backing up there products?). For god sake AL almost died and he doesn't think they will warrenty the manifold, WTF is that. I'd rather deal with JUN than *******s like that.

For me I wanna try the Tomei poncam cuz thats what xtreme tuning aka Ralliart uses on there cars SO they must be somewhat good right? Well when I put them and Buschurs turbo in I'll tell you the results.
