bad choice for a 2.4L since you cant rev it where those cams make power.. Just my .02..

I think his cams are bigger than the s3 cams and his graph looks good. if I can get a graph similar to that with my 35r on e85 (I've basically got same mods), I will be happy.

Mikeys car is the example everyone runs for.. Everyone has " Basically " the same mods.. But 1 mod NOT basically like his and the WHOLE GRAPH CHANGES.. A 35r is one of them..

if everyone is so impatient and its known that they are on back order why not wait to buy? Good things come to those who wait

ever think that when they do get a batch of them in, theres not going to be enough for the people wanting them. you buy now and get on the top of the list and "guaranteed" a set...

On my fourth month of waiting I hope they are good because I have been very patient. I think they will be a nice add on to my car it just sucks on how long it's taking but hopefully soon we can all here something.

Yea that thought did cross my mind but I don't let my self fall back on the belief that I absolutely must have something as it is readily available to the public. Don't get me wrong GSC makes great products for our vehicles and Id love to own a set in my car but if waiting is a problem for some their are other manufactures out there that fit you and your car if you must have this specific upgrade. Same thing happened with another set of cams not to long ago...; everyone wanted them, this that and the other and then bam!!! the next big thing came and everyone was all over that... Market trends are amazing these days. Im starting to feel like my car is an Iphone everyone has one just with a different set of apps....

I agree with all of the this product is the best thing and nothing is better fads, but from what I have seen these cams perform great up top and through out the power band with out losing a huge part of Low end performance in the powerband. If you look at the prices also the cosworth cams are about a $150 or so price difference.

I ordered some a few weeks ago with a bunch of other parts and was told it would likely be over a month, possibly more.

No worries though since that gives me time to rebuild the bank account haha. I'm sure it will be well worth the wait.

I have my S2's on order as well. I want them, but at the same time I am still saving up for about 6-8 other parts so I can do a bunch at one time.

I pre-order s1 for evo 8 in February; however, they're still on back order. LOL I was so frustrated. I changed my order to cosworth m2 and got them within a week. No more gsc for me. By the way, if anyone need cosworth and you can get them through mystotic racing. They'll hook you up with great price.
