Man I wish someone would rock these into a IX. I'd be up for a guinea pig test if I lived closer to an installer/tuner.
Bump for anyone with Kelfords in a Mivec IX.......

Ill be going w/ the Kelford's sometime in June/July maybe a little sooner...1st I have to move to WA (Apr) and get settled in...
FWIW I was looking into the Kelford 280/284 cams for my IX. I found out Kelford makes cams for GSC. I contacted GSC to find out what the differance was between their S3's and Kelford's 280/284's. Basically the Kelfords work well on a 2.0L, but on a stroker might not be the best. Since I am stroking the motor, 97mm crank, I decided to go with the S3's. They are custom ground for whatever head work you have done, motor, turbo, powerband, boost, everything. Tell them what you have and they custom grind cams for your specific application. IMO cant get any better than that, and since their made by Kelford you know their gonna be great quality.
I don't however know about the 264's or 272's, I'd say if your planning on staying at stock displacement, give em a try. Or go with GSC's which are basically Kelfords but made more for our (USA) tuning habits.
My $.02

Actually, a quick look at the specs shows the opposite to be far more likely. The advanced LCs and short effective duration of the Kelford cams appear to be suited toward a long stroke, lower rpm stroker engine with a ported head and moderately sized turbo.
Sorry for any confusion.
Just FYI.
