Possibly GSC S3, Buschur 280 or STMs 650... Any of those I believe would be very good

If you have a IX STm and BR doesn't have anything for you. GSC S3's

S3's are gonna be your best bet. Or maybe the Tomei 290 cams.

I'm going to say S3s. If you have an 8 try to get ahold of STM 650 Cams.

None of these aforementioned cams will deliver their full potential with an unported factory head, which is unresponsive to valve lift greater than ~10mm. Oversize valves do not rectify the situation. A CNC port job should be on the list.

Just FYI.

If you r running on Mivec Head grab the Kelford tx288 ( i ditch my tomei 280 for kelford ) it perform much better than my tomei.
If you r running on non-mivec head u can grab the kelford custom cam such as ams germany paul, stm nz or adam johnsen evos r all on kelford..
Gsc not bad too...

I'm not exactly sure but wouldn't the tune play more of a major factor than which company/brand cams he decides to go with? I almost 100% sure he would need larger cams but I personally do not think the company/brand matters much.

I couldn't find part 1

I bought mine through TSCOMPUSA here on the forums for pretty cheap. Shoot him a PM.
