Have had these in my VIII for 50k. They work well also using BC springs and retainers. Every dyno ive seen puts these equivilent to the HKS 272's

My BC 280's are coming out also for something else!

If you look at AMS cam thread where they tested a buncha cams, You will see why the reason for needing the gears with these cams where as others you dont.

If I remember correctly, the AMS test said the exhaust cam was retarded 2 degrees. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, some manufacturers choose to intentionally do this. The Brian Crower cams are a really good deal, especially for the price.

Working just fine for me, I just want to go bigger. I don't think I would swap them out for any other similar sized cam. I want some S2's though...
