The revolvers straight up went 115 with the CAS trigger out 180, and 120 with the CAS trigger flipped to it's proper orientation. 5 mph gain or lost there on the Revolvers, which seem to be more sensitive to it than the HKS. I don't know what the HKSs would have run with the CAS fixed, but I don't feel that it would have been much more than a 1-2 mph difference (no way to know now though).

Worth looking into, if you haven't already.
yep, that sensor is in the right position. it was the very first thing i checked. thanks though! according to the manual, when the piston #1 is at TDC, with all cam marks aligned, the sensor's smaller vane should be pointed northwest looking at it from the driver's side fender. that is how mine is, if i am wrong, please tell me so!

Paul is not running Buddy club cams 272's! He has Brian Crowers 280's!^^ look at the guys sig...

Paul's (Ifarted2) car went from 650whp to 700+ with cam gears and altered cam timing. Its not like I havent built a few motors or engineered a few cams in the last 15 years.

But hey what do I know, all of you guys seem to have the advice dept. covered.

His sig has recently been updated? In the initial post it just says BC 272's and the only cam I have ever called BC is a Brian Crower. Buddy Clubs are typically just referred to as "Buddy Clubs".

Buddy Club 272's dont seem to have the specs anywhere I can find them. I shouldnt have jumped to the conclusion that they were Crowers in any event though. RedLan do you have a cam card with these cams? That would go along way in us figuring out some likely cam gear settings and maybe getting it running better.

you know what? i don't have cam cards with these cams. what to do? i heard they were exact same specs as hks 272's though. am i right? if these cams give me a hard time, i might just have to jump to 270 tomei procams since i have the upgraded valvesprings and retainers already

sorry john, i meant buddyclubs. BC's? i thought it was short for buddyclubs. i didn't even think about brain crower cams and how it can get mixed up!
