HKS OR GREDDY CAMS WHICH ARE THE BEST?

[stacy]

Hey guys im running an SR20DET Blacktop basically stock T25 turbo with megans racing manifold 3" exhust from outlet back, oil catch can. ARP head studs, cometic double layer head gasket. Anyway Im looking for a set of stage one cams either GREDDY or HKSn with my AEM EMS and greddy intake manifold. Any suggestions?? Im looking to get some quick tuned power, not really looking to rebuild my head completly.

Get a t28

Get a JWT ecu

Get JWT S3 cams

[stacy]

thanks but I just wanna know wheater I should get HKS or GREDDY 264/264 stage one cams

Cams are pointless if you're staying with the stock turbo. At most, I'd only suggest running a 256/256 setup on the stock turbo if you're hellbent on getting cams. As far as which one is better, I'd say go with the Greddy brand. I prefer anything they make over HKS.

When it comes to SRs though, please don't discount JWT. I'd buy a Jim Wolf cam over a Greddy or HKS cam any day of the week.

I apologize for any misunderstanding there are plenty of companies that makes cams not just greddy and hks. But my intention with this thread was to get professional opinions based on personal experience with just GREDDY or HKS stage one cams

My professional opinion is to get JWT S3's, a JWT tune, and a t28 at minimum.

thanks guys

thanks guys

No problem. There is a distinct reason for us suggesting the JWT cams, so unless you got the HKS or the Greddy for free, I wouldn't use them. Actually, If I got free HKS cams, I would sell them and still get JWT units...

[afracer]

F HKS, Greddy, and JWT...Tomei cams are the best...or possibly JUN. If you search around you should be able to find them for $400/pr.

[CMG]

Jim Wolf is straight quality, but $200 for new HKS camshafts who could resist?

I'm looking for the neagtive rep button and can't find it here

You really have absolutly zero clue of what you are speaking about.

Check out any competitive Nissan, and look what cams they are running

[afracer]

ANY competitive Nissan? I don't think so, unless you conducted a survey on every single competitive Nissan in the world don't speak in generalities and expect to have a good argument.

YOU really have zero clue of what I'm talking about...but then again flaming is what stateside 240SX forums are all about these days so good job on making this forum just like all the rest

I won't speak in generalities, and I will say that Tomei cams perform better than HKS from personal experience. I can't say much about JWT or Greddy because I don't personally know ANYONE that runs them.

i have greddy 256/264 cams, happy with them but i havent had the car tuned yet so i dont notice much of a difference. i got those cams to keep my VTC, and im not looking for more then 300 whp in the long run. they are on my s15 sr20

Go Check the cars that were competitve in the old old SRX classes, SCCA Lite classes, or what Competitive NASA based SR20 cars run. Wolf cams. (Well obviously unless a spec class, like PTE or wahtever)

Also funny how Nissam Motorsports uses JWT for their cam design and input. Same with the Offroad program, etc etc. But then again, just because you've never heard of this, and don't know about this, I must be wrong. I'm fairly certain race teams use 'only the best' when it comes to things....

Just because YOU don't agree with it, or have backup against it, doesn't mean it's flaming

But then again, I'm the one flaming here, so why beleive me.

FWIW, Nismo of Japan uses Tomei for a fair amount of R&D, IIRC Tomei even makes some parts for Nismo.

That they do

Just simply stating for those who think JWT is lamer, when they're making real boy cams hah.

[Zenkikid813]
