more power mid to top end 264i 272e or 272in 264e
so I'm a little confused....just based on the two combos the thread started asked:
264/272 - better mid end and high end power (torque/hp)
272/264 - better low end and mid end power (torque/hp)
is that right?
Cams are on the roadmap for myself as well this year and I'm interested in the following:
1) Close to stock idle (little to no lopiness)
2) No loss in stock throttle response/torque
3) Mostly track days, once in awhile drag strip days.
4) Daily Driveability
5) Obviously good increased power
Which is the best setup?
264/272 seems to be a lot more common than 272/264, I'm curious on why this is? More interest in higher powerband?

the main reason why i wouldn't consider 272 and 280s is because of either bad to erratic idle and the lopiness factor. i've gone through too many idle problems to deal with those kinds of issues again.
yes this would be stock turbo.

peak whp is nice, but if you look at the drivability and the different characteristic of the cars that have different cams, you'll appreciate not reading things on a piece of paper.
I have 272/264 setup, the torque is just about amazing. I will take off with another evo that has about 80whp more on me and take him off the roll without boost braking.
Power is immediate and if you track your Evo, there is no lag, no lack of power and it literally feels like a v8 when you step on the throttle.
I'm not a real big fan of things taking forever to get to. Top end is nice, but if you don't much care about drag racing, and u have a daily driven evo that you track/auto-x on weekends, 272/264 is right on.
It really doesn't matter how much torque you get up top, since you make it at bottom to mid end. And honestly, it's not that bad up top.

I drove one with it. It seems there is that lag before all the power pours out and you feel it.
high end is definitely on 264/264 and 264/272, but that's something I don't want. before 4000 or so, there isn't much to look at.
