I have heard that 280 intake/ 272 exhaust is the best combo.. Has anyone here tried this combo or can speculate on this?

Don't usually hear about this combo. Usually 264/272. I personally would get 272/272 w/ a custom tune to try and tame any loopey idle.

One of the guys here in orlando just did a 280intake/272 exhaust combo but the car was having other issues with fuel so he couldnt get a real comparison from the 272/272 setup he had a few days ago

I dont know the exact specs but i heard they are more aggresive than the HKS ones and make 10-15 whp more from what turbo trix dynoed with these cams

The reason for staggering the cams with the larger intake cam and the smaller exhaust cam is that this is the way thay are setup from the factory (238/234).

This type of setup will usually provide the most consistent increases throughout the entire power band.
