They are great and worth the money. They should have a review section as well as if you google them you won't see one bad review.

That sounds like a sweet deal. Maybe we can do a group buy.

At $145.00 a cam you can't beat that to try!

What were there options on cam size?

Did you go with 272's? If so I would think stiffer valve springs would be necessary.

You should throw it back on the dyno and do a comparison pull to see how much was gained.

i went over to supra forums and they had dyno overlays of a bunch of cams and the 264 looked like what i needed, the 272s dont look like it would benefit me too much unless your in the big power range with higher rpm

Link to SF dyno / overlay?

I would agree, 264's are perfect for a stock motor / valve trained GE and upwards of 600-700whp.

The 272's really need to rev high to see the advantage, but they sound sick!

Exactly !! i would only do 272 on 71mm turbo and up, and the best combo on cams is the staggered setup IMO but each their own.
I would be getting the 272s.

That's a test done on real HKS cams, are these regrinds mimicking the hks spec for spec?

All of the info in that thread suggested to stay away from reversed staggered and most of the users agreed that 264/264 made overall more power, the 272's made more "peak" power but not until late in the powerband.
