HKS 272's don't even remotely compare to the Kelford 272's. Kelford is way more aggressive.

Same thing Iam debating on. Not sure if it's worth the extra $750 (cams/springs)

^ i went from gsc s1's to coswrth m2's (aka kelford 272's) while running a fp-grn on 91 octane & saw decent gains from 4k on up to redline.



the s1's made more power for me than hks 272's. I ran that combo while on a tme turbo.....whp is calculated through aem on this graph.

For me, the M2's made more power, however. The s1 cams drive / idle / behave so much nicer on the streets than the m2's

i would make the switch again....i have no regrets going with the m2's for my needs....your needs maybe different.

They have similar lift numbers. Not sure if they're the same, though.

Am I overlooking or even misreading the first chart as only a difference of 11whp and 21wtq when you made the conversion? IMO, that doesn't suffice for spending roughly $550 on the Kelfords and the $200 or so on the retainers.
