272?? Brand???

Many thanks!
Any cams will do over stock, my friend. For the typical daily driver, GSC S2s or Kelford 272s are the preferred choices.

Thank you very much for patience and answer.
I love the car, but am do not know anything about mechanics.
I want to gain some power, and i do not have any mods on the car.
Are they bolt on or do i haveto change something else too.

Thank you very much again

OK. You are on the stock VIII turbo. No issues. I assume that you have a shop with EVO expertise nearby, right? Cams are not a simple "drop in and drive" part as you will need a tune without question.

How do you plan to be tuned? For the cam purchase, I would buy a set of beehive springs.

To be honest, I do not know!

I would try to buy a 300- 400$ FMIC, cams... and I do not know other things..
I know a bigger turbo would be great but I do not have enough money for the moment!

My friend, you can find some quality parts for sale on this forum. I am not sure about a quality FMIC for $400. You have to realize that you pay for what you get. At this point, I recommend that you read as much as you can in order to make informed decisions about where you want to take your car. You have to seriously answer the questions of:

1. How do I plan to use the car?
2. How much am I willing to spend?
3. Do I need to build the bottom end?

There is too much to learn and there is no one clear answer to the solution. There are people that have been on this forum for years and there is a plethora of knowledge here.

On the topic of cams, like I said, the GSC S2s or Kelford 272s will be just fine for about 80% of the guys on this forum.

On the topic of tuning, if you are unable to get tuned where you are, I recommend contacting Tom (TSCOMPUSA) and have an e-tune done.

Hks 272 are really mild cams comparing to kelfords and other modern camshafts. They will give moderate gains and feel much smoother in low rpm everyday driving. Kelfords 272 will be rougher at adle and low rpm, but you'll gain more peak power and torque everywhere, with little to no downsides at low rpm.

As for pistons.. Their future depends on your tuner.
