I thought it was already mentioned in this thread, but have you double checked the CAS trigger orientation? Mine ended up being 180 degrees off. I think I know how that happened, but it's a long story. At any rate, the HKS 272s that I swapped back in for testing purposes didn't seem to mind much, the car went nearly 122 on the EVO Green. 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.

Paul is not running Buddy club cams 272's! He has Brian Crowers 280's!^^ look at the guys sig...
Not being tuned isnt helping, but trust me with the Brian Crowers the lobecenters are too tight and there is alot of power to be found. How much? How about 9% or so. 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.

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.

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".
