If those are all of your mods listed in your signature then I would invest in a turbo back exhaust before you get cams. A Full exhaust will yield more hp than a set of cams.

Proven less HP???? How is that if the GSC cams are exact copies of the HKS cams??? same duration, same lift???

If its been proven then someone must have taken a car making exactly xxx whp with gsc 264/264 and then put HKS 264/264 cams in with same tune and the car made less whp?? If this test has been done please show me and I will stand corrected.

I had HKS 272/272 installed yesterday and tuned. The car only made 20 more hp, and about 30 more tq, but it doesn't even feel like the same car, it pulls like a **** up top and I love the car 10x now.
