I'll go ahead and say this. If you have a IX you had better only put GSC cams in your car! BC and HKS are the two WORST cams on the market!!! Trust me, I know. I when to a custom grind GSC and gained 150whp over my HKS 280 on same timing and less boost!!! GSC FTW. My friend only gained 6hp when he installed the BC and they woudn't idle worth a damn either.

Also don't put any springs in your car but Kiggly. They are the absolute BEST! Your car will hate you if you put anything else in it. Also when building your motor do it right the first time Saves you a lot of money in the long run.

1) GSC S2
2) Kiggly Springs
3) Kiggly HLA

Your motor will thank you!

It is not about the cams snapping. It is about the cams making the most power. Cosi are not near as good as GSC. ER did a back to back M2-S2 and picked up 25-30whp just by swapping cams.

I will never run anything other than GSC cams in my car and I will never recommend anything other than GSC. The only other cams that I like beside GSC are the FP Cams. Robert's and Greg's cams are very similar.

Dual V-springs is old technology, beehives or Kiggly FTW. BC cams don't make power, do yourself a favor and don't install them. Maybe they would make some nice chair legs if you can't return them.

Or you can mount them to your wall and use the "small" lobes as a coat rack behind your door

I would go with GSC Cams and either GSC or Kiggly beehive valve springs.

I am running GSC S2 cams and Kiggly springs in my personal car and cars in the past and have absolutely no complaints, they have always made nice power and never had valve float issues.

Aside from the performance being very similar between the beehive springs and the Supertech duals I have always liked being able to use factory valve seals with the beehive springs and not having to worry about the inner and outer valve springs rubbing on each other.

I've been running gsc 272s with supertech springs for 30000 miles with no problem. The car put down 350 hp after the install.

There were actually more M3 cam sets that broke than anything. The only broke IX set we saw were M3s.
