Help with Cams!

I know there are several threads on "which cams should I get?" Well this is yet another. I'm looking to get a set of cams for daily driving (don't track). Currently I have a 3" TBE with cat delete, O2 dump, manifold, mbc, walbro fuel pump, reflashed ECU, and a K&N drop-in intake filter. I will be keeping the stock turbo (maybe adding the 10.5 hotside), upgrading injectors, and adding an injection kit. I'll get a new flash once everything is installed. I'm looking at either 272/264, 264/272, 272s, or 280s. Any help will be greatly appreciated. And yes I've already performed a search. Couldn't find one with my mods. Thanks!

I had AMS install my 272/272 cams and they are nice. The car loss some low rpm power and gained a lot up top. Feels very fun.

For a daily driver definately go with 264's and cam gears.

The only reason to go bigger is if you have a bigger turbo or you run the car to 8k rpm.

Thanks for the info guys. Also I forgot to mention that I'll be getting head studs as well.

I wish some one kicked my a$s when I ordered 272's and made me go back and order 264's or 264/272 , But "freshsrt4" got 272's with the "Ideal-flash" and it ideals pretty good

You can't go wrong with with any of the combinations you menioned above.
I have had the 264's for a year now and love em like the day i got em. The day I got my cams tuned there were other guys with 264/272's and straight 272's and we pretty much all made the same power on pump gas and 20psi!
