Have you been under a rock for the past few months? I guess you completely missed the cam test AMS did. Link

im rocking kelfords.. i lovee them. very nice.. and im on stock springs.

the only disapointment was i really wanted a very steady and deep lope (just the sound) and i was somewhat let down in that. not sure if its my tune or the cams themselves.. or maybe i just cant hear them in the car. im also on stock turbo @ 24 psi. with most of the basic bolt ons.. no clue what amount of HP im pushing.. but id really like to know

Did u tune after install? Tuning is a Must after installing cams & you will also know what kind of power#'s you're pushing.

You can make any cam lope... even the stockers. Trick is through ECUFlash.

kelfords have a nice curve to go along with boost. im more then likely going to run either the 272/280's or the 280/280s with my meth on my FP Red. go with the 272's very good numbers.

yea MIVEC will not sound as aggressive with cams as NON MIVECs will. also spring upgrades are highly recommended with an 8, but should be okay for the 9. i don't remember if the OP mentioned if it was for an 8 or 9, and his sig doesn't say anything.

you can make them lope just as loud, if you have ecuflash just work out the mivec table (vvti on the options). Select quadrants on the top left corner of it 4 across 4 down. In other words select a 4 by 4 squrare in the top letft corner and go to edit
set data
Moderate lope is 16.8
really deep lope 19.2
