Aren't the BF 272's in your 1000awhp street car as well???

I have to agree that the BF272's have THE best track record right now. PERIOD. Why guess when so many are going so fast on them? This is a part that I would just buy blindly with confidence.

Just my .02.

Only 1 question. Are these reccomended to be degreed?

People can PM me if really interested in the specs, 4kin boost they are in lots of fast cars but there are lots of other cams out there that should make a good bit more power.

"Should" and "do" are 2 different things.. The BR cams are proven in several Fast setups and the price is better than jun and tomei..

BR 272 is not a very high lift cam, Mike the BR's are not that aggressive in the grand scheme of things.

I never said "VERY" high lift.. IMO a "VERY" high lift cam requires solid lifters..

In the Grand Scheme of things it is still a high lift cam which requires upgraded Valvetrain.. I am going to say any cam 10.8-11.0+ lift is aggressive.. Thats my opinion..

So you're saying the BR cams are not aggressive because they have left lift than that?

I think that the BR cams are aggressive but not in terms of lift, would you not agree? No doubt that they have made some impressive numbers but wouldn't you agree that ones with a good deal more peak lift will make more power up top all else being equal?

Do you read what i write?? When did i say i didnt consider BR cams Aggressive?? 2 posts in a row you misread what i wrote..

I said any cam with ~11.0 lift i would consider an aggressive cam.. Yes if all else is equal a cam with more lift should make more power up top.. However, given the availability of the BR cams, Price, and Proven Results I consider it a top choice for cams..

Agreed, sorry I guess I did misread that, def good cams just not the wildest as there have been lots of new ones coming into the market.

I have some HKS 272 on my 61mm turbo evo 8 and im in the process of getting some bigger cams...its between the BF272 and FP4R. I read the cam test by AMS and i was kinda wanting them to test the BF 272s. Are the BF 272 more aggressive than the 4R??
