Sounds like S2's are the way!
I wish someone would do another cam test. I would like to see how S2's and Kelford 272's match up. I know that a couple of the cams tested in the AMS cam test have been revised or replaced such as HKS and GSC.
Has anyone seen any results from the HKS step 2 cams?

Fyi that test was done on a evo 8 not a 9.

If your sticking with the stock turbo - the new HKS Step 2 cams (274/278) would be a good choice. However, be advised - you need a spring and retainer set with these cams. I believe they come with springs - but no retainers. If you have the option to not get the springs, don't and get something like supertech or BC's.
If a larger turbo is in your (near) future, definitely go with the Kelford 272's - these also need a set of springs and retainers.

I would like to see proof of this. Someone asked earlier in this thread for some proof but I'm only hearing opinions. I am going to be buying cams soon as well but I don't want to be taking "opinions" vs "facts". Do you have any links or research you can provide for this forum? IE their new revisions, similar engine builds as us with these cams. I would like to see a comparison of these GSC's vs Kelfords with the new revised cams. What can u provide for us since you seem to know the GSC's are so much better. I'm sure it would help this thread a lot more. Thanks in advance!
Also I'm just asking I hope this doesn't come across as passive aggressive. If you know something we don't share with us

I'm going with the GSC S2's.
I made the decision after reading more, talking with Aaron@English and by knowing Mikey only puts the best in his car....and he usually seems to know what he's talking about
Thanks Guys
