Would you say better then HKS?

GSC $499 shipped HKS $540 shipped

I just feel HKS is proven performance and GSC is not yet....

Texas nobody saw that... Can't hide the title....

Can a mod fix the title so I look less like a n00binator.

hmm guess i'll chime in here

Here is a Dyno that Batlground did with: stock turbo, stock ecu, stock head and valve train. 272/272 GSC cams

Now on to why.
Our cores are Billet just as HKS and the Specs are the same, our units are not regrinds and will perform and last just as the HKS. Now what you do get from GSC is Service. We are the manufacture of the cams we are right here on the boards to help out with any thing that might arise. If you purchase our cams from any of our dealers or direct from us you can deal with GSC directly for support. Oh yeah and the price is a little better too with one less middle man we can cut costs to save the customers some money.

Cant vouch for the Cams, but GSC has top-notched service.

I have had both. I am def staying with GSC. There is NO difference and they are less expensive because the three letters on the box are different.

The Evo that Greg is referring to is mine. I love the cams. I would recommend them all the way. GSC offers excellent prices to go along with their excellent customer service! The car is now making 522 awhp. I'll keep ya'll updated for those that are worried about the "proven performance".

here is the 522 graph


The boost hit 32 and fell to 30 psi. on this run

The upgrades made to make the 522 HP were a GT35R turbo kit and an AEM (in addition to what Greg already mentioned).
