I had both the 272s and 280s. I know GSC Greg has measured a set back to back and the lobes where off. Ill have to ask Greg by how much.

judging by the specs i can find on the buddy club and pictures of the lobes, they look a lot like hks 272. It's hard to tell exactly without a cam card for them though, need to know duration @ 1mm. You should get the BR272 PJ since you got AEM and everything else.

I think its awesome you guys are doing the testing for the community. Big thanks!
I would like to know this also, but sadly I don't think it is. This was done on a built VIII, with a standalone. I think things would be drastically different for us on stock Ecu's and motors (and even more so for us with IX's ). Correct me if I'm wrong.

I wouldn't doubt it. I personally think they are crap.

FINALLY figured out how to order a Turbo mag back issue, link is here:
http://www.primediabackissues.com/Me...egory_Code=TUR

Part 1, I guess, was in the June issue which is off the stands now. Hope the Part 1 magazine dynos are in rpm, not mph like in this thread. The Part 2 magazine dynos are in rpm like they should be.
Part 2 (July issue) is on the stands now and it has only 2 cams, the FP4R and the BC3. They are tested at 22psi and 30 psi.
Has a good long article on valve train design for people who didn't do their Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering project on cam design, like I did!
There will be a Part 3 article.
