I am looking for some cams for my setup.

I currently run an Evo 8 with the following mods:

AEM Intake
Boost Controller
10.5 ported hotside
Buschur O2 housing
3" Buschur Turboback Exhaust
Precision 880's
Perrin Fuel Rail

I plan to use the stock turbo for now, max it out, and then possibly go to the FP Evo Green 20G. So what are the best cams for my setup?

Oh BTW, Grouppe-S has the Helix 272 cams, gears, and a Walboro for $499 shipped right now thats why I am wondering!??

Thanks for any and all help!

GSC S1's. Even if the price on the Helix cams is cheap, you'll regret not getting the S1's down the road.

 

If helix cams are your only choice then go with them, they're other brand out there HKS, Buddy Club, Brian Crower, GSC, try doing some search about them.

 

GSC s1's all the way

 

Ok thanks guys...anymore opinions or factual evidence to support going with the S1's over the Helix's?? Does anyone on here use the Helix's???

 

no that should be reason enough right there. you in the mood to be a ginnea pig?

 

I'd like to see some info as well. The only thing that makes me keep coming back to thinking about Helix's is the fact that their V2 cams are hollow core like the stockers.

 

Not really.....I just would like factual evidence showing whether the Helix's are worth even buying or if the GSC's are worth buying.

 

i got gsc-s1 after being in dxbevo9's car who has them.. they're awesome!!

 

hollow cores don't buy you much, so little in fact you probably can't even measure it. It's a marketing gimick, just like the stockers, and just like the tt RX-7's had hollow fiber carpet for their floormats.

Think about it, how close to the center of rotation is a hollow core camshaft? Do the math, and it's plain to see the only gains you'll see will be on paper.

 

I thought the S1's were only for the IX!?

 

Nope they make em for the VIII also...look on www.STiKiller.com

 

You won't get any factual information for the Helix cams because there is none out there. On the other hand, you will find tons of good information on any of GSC's cams; and that is why people buy them.

I would never buy cams that haven't been tested.

 

Now this is just hear say...but I hear a fellow evo memeber who had the Helix gears....they eventually wore down to a sharper tip and cut through his timing belt. I did not see it....but just ears and talk through the evo grapevine.

I can not comment on the cams though...cause I don't know.

 

Ok GSC's it is...I ordered them today!
