When I first came on this board, all I ever really heard about was HKS cams. Now it seems there are a lot more choices around but are any of them suited to mildly tuned engines. On a relatively mild tune with an EVO III 16G or Small 16G for a daily putting out say 320-350 horsepower, is it worth messing with the cams?
I'm going to go with a 3.909 ratio transmission in this car so we are talking low end and mid range with faster acceleration and lower top end speeds.
I've read the previous infamous cam test shootout quite a few times and it still seems that the 264/264 or 264/272 is the best option for this level of tune. I appreciate as many have pointed out that as power increases the benefits of the 272/272 combo rapidly comes into play but for this car I really don't think I'm going to make enough power to take advantage of them.
Are the benefits worth it for a 300+ hp car or are stock cams best for taking advantage of quick spool up and midrange?
