RVM doesnt make cams either but they got them from the same place GSC gets them from. IDK personally know the place and I dont want to. HKS has been making cams for as long as I can remember for the 4G63 before the evo was even over here. GSC cams are just exact replicas of HKS cams, so in theory they shouldnt make any more power in the same exact car. All cars are different though so different cars make different power. but if you were to use the same lift and duration of both cams in the same car, I imagine the car would make the same power.
Some say the GSC cams make more power because of the Lobe design, its smoother then HKS cams. Well Thats a bunch of BS. Hks cams are extremely smooth, if there is a difference between the 2 cams, its so minute it wouldnt make a difference. The cams are the same plain and simple. HKS has just been around for longer and is a way larger company. I'd stick with them...

The GSCs make more power than the HKS. They are significantly cheaper as well. They just don't look as pretty between the lobes. So what. Do you see the cams when they're installed? Not even a little tiny bit.

are you are really paying for is the name.. yes hks has more r-d costs, cause they were around first, and make more products... both are great, but if you hks, buy a used set here, if not buy from greg...

Let me give you my experience with them, no bs. The first time Al Friedman came to puerto rico a little over to months ago, he tuned nearly 20 evos. Out of ALL of them, only one made a ridiculous amount of power 345-350 whp (give or take), i'm almost certain it had to be at least in the top three with the pretty much the same mods as the others.
It was the only car with gsc's 272/264, all the others had hks. I'm not saying gsc's are better, i'm just telling you guys what i saw

i would have to say cause the REAL fast evos have the 280s (which GSC doens't offer) . I have run hks in every manner and my gsc's are better for sure....i currently run 272 intake /264 exhaust....for my mods i think i have the most hp considering my motor is stock besides those cams and a set of headbolts. I am on pump gas and meth injection with stock intake manifold and throttle body also.
The GSC cams are AMAZING GUYS!
