GSC S1. I know they're not in your list, but they should be. I have no idea why you'd list HKS, Comp, and Helix...Helix???? HKS cams work and are proven, but they are about $100 more than Comp and GSC cams without making more power. You also have little-to-need for cam gears unless YOU actually know how to use them. They are for moving the powerband around but don't do anything at all if you just install them.

if your not sure how far you want to mod, buy some used hks cams.

they are proven & if you decide to go bigger, the hks cams hold their resale & you can basically get what you paid for them & move on to something bigger if that is your desire.

Just installed my Helix cams. Did not have a problem with my cam sensor bolt or anything else. I thoroughly inspected the cams and they look very well made. Could have been that maybe it was installer error, because you can easily strip the threads on the cam ends.

Helix V2 gets my vote, superior material, superior machining, and less rotational weight.
