Which cams to buy..(brand wise)

Ok so I know there's a bunch of different brands of aftermarket cams out there. But which one is the best money wise and power wise. And if there is already a thread about this can someone send me the link.

I went with kelford 272's after searching over the months. Great power and incredibly street able. My brother has hks 272's and they are hardly noticeable going from stock but still have that great pull in the top revs. Look for AMS's cam test. They tested many different brands from 264's to 280's.

Ignore AMS cam test as it is now seriously out of date.

GSC has more aggressive ramp rates for a given profile and are less "noisy" when tuning.

Maybe because they're not as aggressive and are good all around cams, where others fit better specific application?
