Whoever said 4R's are bigger than S2's is incorrect. GSC S2's are *the* cam to get IMHO but you have to do springs with them. I'd do tubular manifold or a bigger turbo before I did cams on an IX (and an X for that matter!).

If i got cams they would be aggressive enough to make power and definitely would be doing valve springs and retainers with them. I already have a LICP, as well as some other mods, as i mentioned a couple comments up. I guess what my real question should be is what is the limits of the stock top and bottom end of the motor? I don't want to push the limits, i want to be safe and driveable everyday of the year, that is 100% more important than power at this point. Its just hard to find a concrete number on what hp/tq/boost numbers are safe.
So I guess with the mods that i already have, and wanting to spend roughly 4 to 5 grand on the parts/tuning and install if needed, what is the easiest, most reliable, and efficient way to reach roughly the power goal of 475 to 500whp (corrected on DB's dyno)??
I'll keep saying it, but thanks again to all of you for being so helpful!
