Tomei pro 270's vs Revolvers built 2.0 35r

I have a built 2.0 35r aem ems pushing 530whp on pump+meth. The long block came with the revolvers already installed. I have a set of tomei pro 270's cams siting at home that I could install. I'm getting mixed opinions on wether or not I should keep the revolvers or go with the tomeis. Pls let me know what you think and why.

I agree that you should keep the way that it is currently. Although you could probably resell those revolvers for a good amount of money since they have become very hard to find due to short/no supply.

if the car's already built, y change it?

i understand why ppl constantly keep changing their cars & then when it starts to run WORSE, they wanna blame the parts or the tuner.

if it runs good ENJOY IT!!!!!!!! there's nothing worse than having an EVO u can't drive-i should know...

I have tomeis and to me they are the best. Revolvers are hit and miss, and i havent seen any complaints on tomei cams. if you, can switch them and sell the revolvers.

if u want to make a bucketload of power with a cam selection, then the Tomei 280's are what u want. if u want even more than that & have a racegas tune, then u could go with the Piper 290's or 300's...

Do you have effective duration @ 1MM numbers for the Tomeis? This is important and seemingly impossible to find. On paper, switching over seems like more of a lateral move. Noogles did testing on Revolver's spring setup and found them to be inconsistent. You should consider a dual setup with the lift and ramp rates with these aggressive cams you're considering.
