Scheides loves everything that has good marketing. ;)

I had never heard of them until a few months before I bought mine. Tons of people were seeing great numbers with them and ultimately I think it was shane that turned me onto them over the 280's. They did move my boost threshold back a bit but the top-end is undeniably better, which was exactly what I wanted. The added lift and smoother idle sold me on them, but for a 100% stock valvetrain the hks 280's with their low lift and gentle ramp rates are still my #1 recommendation. 'Race' cams, you know ;)

Okay, good marketing and a following of nutsack swingers. :biggrin:

I swing from the nuts of cold hard data. Anything less is a guess.

I didn't give an F about Kelfords until i saw the AMS cam test. From then on they were a great option in my book. (yes i have a book o_0)

that sucks about the cams! as for my 272's they don't lope all that much. when I had my car tuned shane had thought I had adjustable gears and degreed them in since they're wasn't much lope but I definitely didn't ( thats also in a 1g awd). but good luck I hope you get something back from the seller

What about GSCs? they seemed to do good in that test also.
Sorry to hear, but i'm sure that won't stop u.

Safe bet cams, CBRD likes to recommend them, they are decent but I don't know anyone personally that has them....until wednesday, Silk has them in his car now...btw he made 450whp on shane's dyno on E85 & the HKS264/272 combo (IIRC).

*edit* they were GSC S1's...not sure how old they were though.

[Kracka]

His old cams were pre-S1 I believe. He now has the S2's.

GSC makes good cams, but I like the FP4R because its a compromise between the S1 and S2 and doesn't require aftermarket valve springs. They also don't sacrifice the low-end like the Kelford 272's do.

Is this the AMS cam thread you guys are talking about: http://forums.evolutionm.net/evo-engine-turbo-drivetrain/343818-ams-evo-cam-test.html

I was hoping to find HKS cams compared.

[Kracka]

That's the one, Matt. Just keep in mind the test was performed with a built engine and large turbo.
