Don't know exactly what your set up is, but I've been running with the Jim Wolf Tech cams (.390L/275D) and adjustable cam sprockets. Great tuneability.

I've not seen any reviews on these things. I think nobody has tried them due to the price. Or at least that's what I think.

The Kelfords have shown very good dyno results. The BC's are another decent choice.

Just make sure whatever route you go, you set the clearance, and degree your cams accordingly.

Im about to do the good old s14 cam swaperoo into my s13 kat for the 248/232 setup. We'll see what happens. Only cost me $40 so I think it will be worth it. If I had money to blow I'd get the good s*** though.

I personally did the 248/248 setup. I thought about doing the 248/232 at one point, but really didn't understand it at the time.

I think we need a cam option sticky, with some of the cam swap results and personal opinions on them.
