I'm pricing out some cams and I've found some very good prices and I'm wondering what is the best cam to go with my IX.

GSC S1
Tomei 260/260
or
Kelford 272s

I don't want to change my valvetrain right now.

kelford... out of any of those... i run them on my ix stock turbo.. and with just a reflash, not even tuned.. made noticable hp. and nice idle too

kelfords require upgraded valvesprings

you should go with the S1s with minimal supporting (springs ...yada yada)
for the benefit for money there the best

thanks for your time

Yes they would work great for that application.

single valvesprings and retainers are optional at +$275

valvesprings are required after 8000rpms.

i'm probably going to go with the cams first and then change the valvetrain later. I haven't changed cams on an Evo so would it be retarded to change the valvetrain at a different time than the cams?

i wish i would have done valvesprings at same time... but oh well... it was my first time putting cams in a car ever.. it was ok.. the cam gear bolts are a pain. make sure you have torque wrench. but about those springs.. i'd just ask a tuner or vendor that sells the cams. like TTP

the person (i think) helping me put them in is a Mitsu tech so thats helps. He'll probably make me change the springs lol.
