Camshafts for evo 8

I'm evaluating to purchase a set of camshafts for my evo 8. Currently have stock turbo evo 8, and later will ride FP HTA green. I seek not to lose strength below, and take the limit at 7500 rpms. For now I will go with oem springs, by what I need that they are not very aggressive and they mounted cams with oem springs.

My candidates are:

- GSC S1 Cams 268/268 Peak Lift Exhaust-10.5mm-Intake-11mm
- Brian Crower 266/266 Duration-10.54/9.86mm Lift
- Kelford 264/260 Duration-11.00/10.35mm Lift

I hope your views and experiences to decide the election.

S1's hands down. Kelfords aren't a bad, just not as good as GSC's and they're more expensive.

Couldn't be happier with my GSC S1's. Smooth driveability during cruising and the midrange is just WOW. Idle is slightly more lopey than stock but not too much lope which I like.

you can get kelford 272's with the low 11mm lift for stock valve train. Will benifit the green the most.

S2's can also be used on the stock valve train when revved within the factory limit

I did the S2's from IX turbo straight to the FP Red, not even mad.

Thank you all for the answers and help. I have finally asked the camshafts GSC S1. Right now I have in my car.

Miltek full exhaust 3''

Fuel Pump Deatschwerk dw300
2.5'' pipes ic
K&N intake
Exhaust manifold

When setting up everything, try to hang the chart so you can see it
