Camshafts (Yes I know, I'm sorry)

So I know there's a ton of threads out there about cams and believe me I've read about 99% of them
But I don't see many about the cams I'm thinking of
I want a set of cams that (obviously) holds better power up top but doesn't lose a bunch of low down power/torque
Does anyone have any decent experience with Brian Crower 266 cams? And how do they compare to GSC S1 268/268 cams which are another possibility for me
I emailed a guy at CarModsAustralia and he said he got 350hp (which is about what I want from a daily) out of his BC 266 cams on a stock 8 turbo which shocked and surprised me
I'm thinking of going to a GT2 7460R soon
Cheers again guys

Cant comment on the comparisons, But from what I can see from the conversations on this forum, most of us are going w/the billet GSC's

I personally had the GSC S2's installed in combination w/the FP 71HTA turbo

Cheers

While i don't have exact experience in what your asking about I do have a 7460R on my evo 8 and my progression went 7460R w/ Gas and Stock cams, to 7460R w/ E85 and stock cams, to 7460R w/ E85 and HKS 276/278 cams, and now im about to install GSC S2's so I have experience (~8 years) with the 8 and that turbo just not the exact cams. So if you have any questions in context of my experience I'd be happy to answer. Just some quick info though, i was able to get 320WHP (VD) out of my 8 w/ stock cams 91 octane and the 7460R with a mostly stock setup plus full exhaust w/ stock cat and that was 8 years ago when i was pretty new to tuning the evo.

I built a E9 with 7460 for a friend and we used gsc S2's. We had some issues with the MAF going beserk, but after switching to SD car runs sweeet.. There was no loss at lower RPM..

Sweet, thanks guys for the feedback, may just go with GSC because of their (arguably) better and more well-rounded reputation

HKS has came up with GTIII-RS bolt on turbo for EVO CP9A/CT9A
However, the price seems to be on high side
