you have said that you didn't want anything to agressive because its your DD,,, kep them youll be happy GSC are great products,,,, however if you wanted to get a little more up on top you can alway get the 272's more agressive cams

good choice... so did i...

Thanks.

just an oem gasket... you do not need a cometic one!!

and GSC FTW... hks on cams are junk.... the GSC s1 cams is the perfect cam for stock turbod cars!! a GSC s2 the 272/274 cam is great for a bigger 35r

cossie is awesome but require springs and retainers, which is pry more then he wants to do and is pry a little more agressive then he wants as well!
