GSC S1 -vs- HKS 272

So i have seen the profile on the GSC S1's and they are rated as 268 and of course HKS 272 are...272's has anyone rated them against eachother? I am in the middle of a decision and i can't find anythig directly comparing the two against eachother. Anyone have experience with these cams comparativly?

I dont have experience comparativly but I had the HKS 272s in my V///. I thought they gave me a nice power band with some nice power. What do you have an V/// or a IX? For the IX the S1 I think are great cams.

Brand Name Spec. Cam Duration Cam Lift
These are the specs of both:

HKS Intake 272 10.8mm
HKS Exhaust 272 10.2mm
GSC S1 Intake 268 10.5mm
GSC S1 Exhaust 266 10.5mm

Just look at the lift as well.

Yeahhhhhh after a bit of higher learning (AKA i read so old posts) it seems to be that regardless of the lift the S1's seem to do alot better then the HKS with better mid-range duration and make for a faster spool and a better set-up for the mean time as i still have a stock turbine (obviously i want to change my turbine....i am just not rich ).

From what I've read, the GSC S1s seem to idle better too.

if you plan on staying in the stock turbo to fp green range i would go with s1's they will be more responsive, if you plan on going bigger then that i would look into the hks or even a set of s2's

I'm also debating GSC S1 vs. Brian Crower 272s. I won't spend the $ on the HKS...

GSC S1's will give you GREAT mid range torque, on a stock turbo with just a drop in and turbo back with those cams, I'm conservatively putting down 345awtq at like 4k (I have to check my Dynosheet)! S1's are just awesome. . .

I guess it's time to change the "Drives" part of your avatar then I'd love to see the graph.
