Most gurus will tell you that the stock EVO9 cams are comparable to the HKS 272 EVO8 cams. They should be plenty good for maxing out the stock turbo.

I would focus on more boost, airflow, or octane prior more cam.

True data?
I plan to run E85 on my IX

Yes thank you Groc. Amber gave me my tracking # today. Can't wait to get these things installed and tuned. Hoping they will get me over 120 on the stock turbo.

Stick with the Cosi's or GSC's. I both went the BC 272's and the 280's and its been nothing but one issue after another. Pay a little more and get the best. And if you do go with the BC 280's it is recommended that you upgrade the springs and retainers.
