If so, how was it for power gains. I am going to be running it hoping it will be somewhat like the 272/264 with roughly same HP gains but more midrange torque.

Wait until after this weekend. I have a friend heading down to Dyno4mance. He is having his car upgraded with HKS 280/272 cams, cam gears, TBE(already on car), K&N drop-in (already in) and getting his XEDE installed and tuned on their dyno. After that I will let you know what his results are.

I will post up in this thread (either on Sunday or Monday) and let you know.

Thanks,
Nathan

What about 272/280. I Have gsc 272/264 and was looking to upgrade my turbo. Not sure if I could just swap the 264 for the 280. Also the other issue is I Have GSC, which doesn't have a 280. Can I do GSC 272/ HKS 280?

280/280 may give more power, but i am also looking for midrange torque, which as far as i can tell. 280/280 doesn't have.
