Hey guys I'm new to this forum,and I jus picked up a evo 8 last week,what has been done to it has been a blowoff valve,exhaust,turbo timer, stage 2 clutch, and intake I think. I'm not wanting to do a lot w the motor,maybe jus cams and a bigger intercooler w a tune,I've done some research and I've found out the kelford 272 are prolly one of the better options for these cars,is this cam setup good for me or is there another option,seeings how I'm not making a hole lot of power? And if the kelford is good for my setup,will I have to but any other parts w it to make it run better,or do I jus install and get a tune? Thanks for the help guys

 

Sounds fine to me, just make sure to get some valve springs and retainers so you can have peace of mind.

 

...or the GSC S2s if you do not want to buy upgraded springs and retainers. Again, it all depends on the intended use of the car. If budgeting is a concern, search the classified ads for a used set of cams. Good Luck!

 

You mean S1s? GSC recommends you to upgrade the valve springs with the S2s, Kelford also recommends it but I ran my car for 6 months on the Kelfords until I upgraded my springs.

 

My mistake. You are correct. I ran the old school GSC 264s with my stock VIII turbo and loved the grunt.

 

I want cams for when I get an.Evo, good info

 

YES if you get a set of kelfords you will be fine. I know plenty of people that run them without the upgraded springs and retainers. Just keep shifting at 7600 rpm, go more than that then you risk floating your valves. GSC and Kelfords are both good, they have good mid power and keeps the power band steady all the way to the top end. So go for kelfords 272 or GSC S2 do not get any smaller.

 

i've heard good things about the kelfords 272

 

Get some nice GSC S2s and call it a day. They make more power than any other comparable cam out there

im looking for some cams to, and the GSC S2s will be good on stock turbo over the GSC S1s?

 

Kelford cams ftw!

 

Correct! They spool the exact same as a S1 but make about 15-20whp more. I can get a good deal on some S2s for you. Shoot me a text or pm if you are interested.

I know the old model GS2's were outperformed by Kelfords in the cam shootout a time back. I haven't seen an updated comparison between the two on the forums, so it almost seems like shooting in the dark between which brand you like the most.

FYI, there is a guy selling a used set of Kelfords for the low (350). Good luck on your decision.

 

okay cool thanks! and let me save some money first lol and shoot you a pm=) thanks for the help.

 

Kelford's have always been more agressive then the other brands. Might wanna keep that in mind.
