This is how I felt too... but I do respect John's word, as he knows his stuff. Am at ends about this one though. I feel like the Kelfords murder the S1's and are on the same level as the S2's, On an Evo 8, on the 9's are a different story, as Kelford just brought over the 8's cam without doing many changes.. which is why the S2's murder the Kelfords on the Evo 9's. Gsc is constantly improving their older cams, and it paid off with their Mivec cams.

lol all those cam choices are nice another cam people forget to mention are the fp 4rs. Bada$$ cams as well. so if you have to pick a cam for evo 8s then

gsc s2 popluar choice
kelford 272
fp 4rs
gsc s1
Custom gsc cams
hks 280

evo9 i would say all the same but i would not get kelford 272 for a 9 as john mention i have seen where they cause phantom knock.
