Guys at AMS, id like to know does anyone know how well these cams perform on DSM?
Im sure it would be quite similar. I am thinking about swapping out my BC272's for these Kelford 272s and just using brian crower springs and retainers for up to 8500rpm.

Thanks

I have Jun's 272 Mivec and I am thinking to change them with Tomei 280 Mivec.
What do you think?
My Evo IX has big turbo and a coswoth block and cosworth head.

It will be a good swap if you ONLY care about top end power.. I personally had these cams.. sure they made a ton up top, but they lost spool, low end, and mid range power compared to my Cosworth M2's I was previously running (Very comparable to Kelford 272s)..

No sir.. This test was done a while ago and everything was done at the same point in time.

If I go with Tomei,is it better to choose the solid camshafts with the solid pivots or should I use just the lash camshafts?
