Yeah, I looked at those. They didn't look like they'd fit, but I guess I'll have to recheck it.

And then some assembly lube and the cam tensioner tool.
Any experience with the Brian Crower 272/272 cams? I received a message from a vendor for $599 shipped which included springs and retainers. Not a bad deal.

I have read so many bad things about BC cams. I would seriously go with S 1/2's. You will be very happy man.

Didn't Aaron run BC cams for awhile? Worst case call Aaron/Lucas and get their opinions.

They are good for the money, but there are better cams for the same if not a little more and they are better made. Just go w/ some GSC S1's. You dont have to upgrade your springs w/ S1's.

This might help: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...an+crower+cams

I wouldn't even look at BC cams when you have either Cosworth or GSC. M2's will work nicely and idle ok. S1's idle better but fall off quicker on the topend.

IDK if 'fall off quicker' is the best way to describe the S1. Having driven 2 cars that arent mine w/ the old S1 version in them I wouldnt say they fall off up top, but dont pull as hard as a more aggressive cam would (obvious), but then again the S1 just got a face lift.

So, Caesar, I am sure unless you want to go to an S2 and upgrade your cams that the S1 will be fine for what you are looking for.

I never said that Jake's decisions wouldn't affect himself, nor did I say anything about saving meant you can't have fun. But that's up to him and his parents to give him the lecture and advice. I clearly stated him spending his money how he wanted wasn't going to affect anyone else in a negative manner. It sure as hell hasn't affected you. I understand your example, but why do people need to go to such extremes to prove a point. Jake's spending did not single handedly take out our economy. Thanks for the big words and rambling Codgi and dbsears


Cliffs: Thanks for the advice, keep it to yourself.
