Need help picking out semi mild cams. And springs and retainers

[gsxcody]

Hey so I just dropped a 6 bolt in my 2g gsx. It basically stock with internals. I'm gonna be running a 30r pretty soon. But before I put the new turbo setup on, I wanna do some headwork to my car. But since I literally just did the swap I'm not trying to pull my motor again. So im just gonna do cams springs retainers and 3g lifters so far. I was looking into kelford 264s, kelford 272s, bc 272, fp2x, and hks 272, 272/264. I'm not sure what would be best. I was looking at ams's cam research and the hks 272/264 put up some pretty good numbers. But I've also heard great things about kelford so idk. What do u guys like?

Kelfords are great. But I swear by Brian Crower 272's allll day. I've used them in every build and NEVER had a problem.

Ive talked to many people who love fp2s way more than bc 272s.

It just depends on what your looking for. Each cam is going to have a slight change in their product. I went with the HKS 272's. Now after reading reviews I found out I could have bought a cheaper, still name brand cam and still benifit from it. BUT I am partial to HKS so I'm happy with my choice.

I'm happy with the FP2 with my 16g. They didn't drop low end torque too much, but the top end opened up greatly.

The idle is also so steady, it's hard to tell I even have cams. But they definitely made a difference.

To the OP. You going to be installing cam gears with your setup or just throwing the cams in?
