Kelford 272's - Evo 8

Has anyone had a chance to install a set yet? I've been reading up a good bit and checked out AMS's results from the camshaft tests. From what I've seen so far, they look to be an excellent choice when it comes to camshafts. However, I'm curious to see what other peoples results have been .

I was trying to pick between these and the BF-272's, but I have seen no info on the Buschur cams anywhere. I just know that they are ran in some of the fastest evos so I ordered them Monday.

I just installed them on my car, along with the FP Red. They have a nasty idle and about 8-10 in. of vacum at idle. Much more duration than the Comp 280's I had before which gave me about 15 in of vacum. I will be getting tuned shortly and heading back out to the track.

I'm looking forward to your results. I'm leaning towards an fp red myself and now reaearching my camshaft options.

This is not an 8, but maybe it will give you an idea of the gains.

These were the results I got just over a month ago at AMS (you can read about my mods in the thread):
