I have been happy with my ZEX 272/272........It really depends on what you are doing with your car/ Road race, Autocross, Drag race, Daily drive?

+1

You should post what set up you plan to run and we can make suggestions. HKS 272's are great on a stock viii but would be to small on a built car with a big turbo for example. Its all relative.

dang you want a bad boy cam then lol looking into kelford 280 buschur 272 those are my choices for you. Some would say the cosworth cams but i am not a fan of those. anything else would be to small with that turbo kit you can make some serious power good luck

Kelford or gsc s2 they will perform the best for you with any 30r plus turbo

Personal experience with the GSC S2 cams. Loved them and was able to make them idle on stock ecu. (search my posts to find my results)

I have heard great results with the BR 272's, was told once that since I had the GSC S2's that it wouldn't benefit me to upgrade to the BR cams.

Ran both HKS and Kelford 272, for a stockish setup and great drivability HKS. High end power, go with Kelford.
