Get the MAP Rev2 exhaust manifold, they have been carrying cores lately ;)
Ceramic coating will keep your underhood temps way down. They can do the manifold and o2 housing at the same time for ya.
MAP does this stuff? I'll have to talk to them about this!

Heh we don't need to go to deep into cam theory, but real-world the HKS 272's, 280's, GSC S1's all are on about the same level, great basic cams that you'll see good gains from.

So the GSC S1 is a decent cam? Or do you think I should push the valve train as much as possible to get the max out of it? consiering I am doing my timing belt here and now anyways...

Yes, MAP does lots of port work :)

I would just go with a basic set of cams, there are lots out there and yes you can always go further and further and further 'while you're in there' but ultimately the name of the game is KISS and keep maintenance/tuning a priority over more more more parts.
Yes, the GSC S1 is a decent cam, pretty sure I said that a few times now :)
If you can't find a good used set of cams you like and feel like getting a more aggressive setup, go for the kelford 272's. Lots of people running them on the stock valvetrain w/o issue, just keep the stock rev limit in place.

My VIII cam recommendations for stock valvetrain:
HKS 280 (lots of used sets for cheap on the market...buyer beware with used cams though; smooth idle)
GSC S1 (good low-end and spool, fairly smooth idle)
Kelford 272's (best top-end but will sacrifice your low-end and spool)
FP 4R's (great mix between the S1's and Kelfords IMO with the roughest idle of the bunch; I have these on my IX)

Great recommendations above as always ;) We have the Megan Racing O2 housings in stock, and we have several exhaust manifold cores so we can get started on your porting project as soon as you would like. We also have the Kelford 272's in stock and the GSC S1's are just a few days away, as always we guarantee the best pricing :) I look forward to hearing from you!
