Which Cams Combo?
Hello im new into the evo's and cams things..Im looking to install some HKS cams on my car and want to retain the stock valve springs etc..
Some Ppl tell me to go with the 264 on both int,exhaust..But I see that some ppl run 264/272..
What are the pro and cons on using different types and running the same on both..thanks
Oh btw I drive a VII JDM GSR

I just got HKS 280s after many days of research. You can still retain the stock valve springs, pm me for any other q's.

264's are a waste. Go 272's or 280's...

GSC S1's or S2's are great cams imho. There is a lot of research you can do to find what you think you would like best.

I don't want to lose any low end power because most of my driving is granny/daily driving. I only like to have fun now and then.

I have HKS 272/272 on otherwise stock head. Not to agressive imo, but they are more agressive than the BC 272/272 I was running. There is a huge thread somewhere on the fourms that dyno tested several different cams. Just do alot of research. There is also a very imformational video I used to help me with my instillation. http://videos.streetfire.net/video/H...-on_138721.htm . Thats for an VIII, im not sure if its the same as doing it on a VII but you get the point.

search evo cam test, AMS took alot of time to test various cam shafts and give the results. It sounds to me like the Kelford 272's might be a good choice for you, however normally you would want to upgrade the valve springs. If you don't run the car at high RPM all the time you might be ok though. Just know that eventually you will have to change the springs because with any upgraded cam shaft you are going to wear out the stock springs quicker then normal. If you absolutely don't want to change the springs, look into either the WORKS 269 or the greddy easy cams.
