recommend me some cams
All I can do is speak from installation experience, but we went to install shift_fast (evom member) cams of this make and duration and just like the compcams problems with the cam angle sensor bolt hole not being drilled and tapped correctly, these suffered from the same problem and would spin freely in the cam.
Needless to say I swapped in my OWN personal GSC 280 280's from my shopcar MR so he would have a nice set of performance cams. Otherwise he would have wasted a 2 hour trip for an install that could not have been completed.

Whats the size and thread the hole is supposed to be?
I could take the bolt and match it up to my tap and die set, but I am preoccupied at the moment.
With regards to that camshaft brand mentioned earlier, the thread and bolt size irrelavent as the hole was drilled and tapped to LARGE for the bolt.
If it was drilled and tapped to small, that would leave the option to machine it larger and retap it which is bull**** to have to do anyhow on a finished product.
Regardless it was not an option.

Hey TTP, on the Helix cams, do you know if they were the V1 or V2 cams? There must have been a reason why Helix came out with V2's. If you don't know, about how long ago was the attempted install?
I ask because I just recently purchased a set of the V2 cams, and will be installing them in a week. I bought them because of a nod of confidence from a couple NorcalEvo users who have them and have had good results with them.

This was about 3-4 weeks ago.
Not sure how much this would make over 272's, I've never run those. I honestly would go for the 280s. I DD my car 40+ miles per day and see absolutely zero negatives to running these 'race only' cams, even on a stock turbo setup. My other mods for the above graph: Buschur TBE w/ cat, BR intake pipe & filter, UICP, and Deluxe FMIC kit, ARP head studs and custom flash from DB Performance. Stock injectors, stock turbo, stock valve springs.
