cams for 50 trim
Just curious what people would run for cams for a 50 sized turbo, I was thinking HKS 272 or FP2's, Would these help stretch the hp out more towards 7500rpm? I run e85, any may be running upwards of 30psi. Are the cams going to make a serious difference over stock?

Re: cams for 50 trim
Run some HKS 272's and yes they will make considerable more power up top over the stockers.

Re: cams for 50 trim
HKS 272's are the shizzle.

Re: cams for 50 trim
no offense to cman3000 but web cams are probably the only cams i would stay far far away from unless you can find a set for like $125

Re: cams for 50 trim
new or used HKS 272's or bust! Keep it simple 
Otherwise, maybe look at GSC S2's, with a set of valvesprings (and fresh valve stem seals while you're in there!). If I were to upgrade the cams in my evo, they'd be these:

Re: cams for 50 trim
According to FP the FP2's are similar to the HKS272's but with more emphasis on the top-end while giving up a little low-end. The FP4R also looks like a great choice for a 50-trim if you're willing to replace your valve springs (basically a more aggressive FP2).

Re: cams for 50 trim
well the non x series FP cams don't need upgraded valve train I though.

The FP4R replaced the FP2x.
