It really depends on your mods as of now and what you plan on for it in the future.

I don't have any dyno numbers to back up my claims but I previously ran HKS 264/272 combo and couldn't tell they weren't stock. Upgraded to s1 cams with very small increase in power then to s2 cams with a good noticable gain and now running r2. I love the r2. My girls car has HKS 280s and honestly, I'm not impressed. They idle good though.

I just bought some S2 cams but is still debating if I should put them in place of my HKS 272 on a stroker engine. I LOVE my current cams and the way it idle, tip-in, and drive - SMOOTH. Even on a GT3582R turbo/pump gas+meth injection it's very "torquey" on low RPM. As far as top end, I don't know what to compare it to.
All I know is that I love my current car and afraid new cams will screw it up. If I could remember I will update this thread once switched to E85 and S2 cams.
