hey everyone need your guys opinion on whether i should buy the BC 272s, my brother in law is willing to sell them to me for $150?
i have a down pipe, hks full exhaust, mishimoto intercooler..
what do you guys think??

***also guys if i get lets say the s2 or the kelfords and i obviously have the springs and retainers will that honestly affect the reliability of my car ?? really need your guys help on this one.

 

I personally went with GSC S2's, have heard nothing but good things about them. BC cams on the other hand I have heard nothing but negative things about. Its your money, but I'm sure you don't want to do cams twice.

 

What is so bad that you have heard about them?

 

i need some personal experience stories ... im pretty sure $150 has to be a pretty good deal? thats the only reason im considering them right now..

 

that is a pretty good deal how many miles are on them? i dont have any personal experience with BC 272s but am in the process of changing my HKS 280s for my new GSC S3's and if the S2s are anything like the S3s nothing but great things to come

 

they are pretty much 100% brand new lol maybe 500 miles on them if that, he bought them and took them off for some kelfords!
any problems with the s2?

 

i have seen nothing but good with the S2s sound good also

 

how much do you think it will cost for install for the cams?

 

I mean you will gain some power. more then most 150 dollar mods. but you will need a tune. but like most people say just save up and get better cams do it once

 

They are dated plain and simple. They'll make power on par with the HKS 272's that were available back then.


There are far better cams on the market today ie. GSC S2/Kelford 272's

I recommend the S2's

 

S2s or Kelfords, it's silly to do cams more than once. You will lose more money.

 

About $150-$200. Around here at least. It shouldn't effect your reliability. The car may be harder to drive with AC on. I highly doubt it. I have HKS 272, and my tuner leveled it out where I don't even feel them while driving.

People have bashed on the HKS cams and I like em! I haven't tried other cams so I really couldn't compare. I'd def pick them up and flip them if you're not going to install them.

 

lol might as well get greddy easy cams. have fun wasting money on cams that wont do anything good for you. the fact that man people have been able to run with them untuned, shows how close they are too stock -_-

 

Um no.....

Assuming an Evo VIII here (as that is what the OP has) he will net power comparable to the HKS 272 cams.

 

BC272 dont make any power, Its not even worth the time or effort to install them. Do it right the first time
