Cams?

I wanted to ask around what people think about my setup. I want to add cams. I'm only looking for around 350 awhp. And was curious if adding the Hks 272 cams would be a nice upgrade. I know they are not as aggressive as say Kelfords or Gs2, and i know there are way better cams out there now. I just want to see from peoples experience how they have liked them. I'm not looking for huge power as my car is a daily drive and only occasional canyon drives, Also i don't want something that idles really bad.

Current on car:
-Aem intake
-3 inch no name downpipe
- Injen Test pipe
- Injen exhaust
- Stock injectors
- Stock cams
- Stock evo 8 turbo
- Stock 02 housing
- Injen Inter cooler piping.
- Evo 9 Bov
- Mbc

Getting installed soon:
- Evo 9 Turbo
- Invidia 02 housing
- Walbro 255

Want:
- Cams

People are fanatic about GSC2's around here, but for a stock turbo I'd recommend GSC1 or HKS 264, just my opinion.

You can probably get to 350hp with the 9 turbo and stock cams...

Go with kelford 272's and also a good tune. Without a tune you'll just wasting your money on parts.

S1 cams would do just fine on that set up. They will keep stock like drive ability and still give you good gains.

I hit 350/350 on a mustang without cams. But I did switch to e85 to run it safer.

9 turbo and supporting mods.

BC 272 ! They may be a little much for a stock turbo but if you plan to go bigger the extra air will be there.

Kelford 272's, they'll make good power and give you room to grow in the future.
