Kelford 272s or Cossie M2s?

Looking to buy some cams for my 9 and I've pretty much narrowed it down to these two brands...I'm still on the stock turbo if that matters and I'm trying to get the most power possible out of it...which do you guys recommend?

The Kelford 272's have shown some real good performance. They would be a good choice for a street/track car. Not so familiar with the
Cosworth cams, for what I hear they are decent aswell. I think the Kelfords a bit cheaper if that matters at all.

According to the AMS "Turbo" cam test, the Kelford's were recommended for those that use their car for daily driving with the occassional trip to the track. I personally am going to use these once I go with the FPRed. Even if that falls through, I'm going with the Kelford's. If you check out the AMS Cam Test thread, check out the comparison between the stock vs. Kelford sheets. It's pretty enlightening.

I think TTP just posted some nice results on M2's and stock turbo.

I really like my M2s. They have been proven over and over with a lot cars with the stock turbo and have been doing very well with them. The Kelfords did extremely well in the AMS test but you have remember that the test was done with a bigger turbo.

Kelfords and Cosworth produce similar results. The specs are similar with Kelford having a slightly more aggressive ramp rate if I recall correctly.

We have both Cosworth and Kelford 272's in stock.

I just had my M2's installed this past weekend, and I couldn't be any happier. I haven't been tuned yet, but already I can feel a difference. The car sounds crazy at idle, I feel like im in a race car! I should be getting tuned this weekend.
