Has anyone received a cam card with their Kelfords? I did not and have not. Wondering if those New Zealanders send out cards with their cams?

Damn, again I get screwed. I waited for about 1 month for the cams to get here. And looked everywhere and no damn camn cards. I too will be using the evo springs/retainers for my head. I was told that someone had them 'tested' and they have better stiffness than the BC springs/retainers. I think they will be just fine.
Did both of you install the cams yet? How are they sounding? Helping spool bigger turbos any better?

I wish I knew about Kelford before I got my HKS. But the HKS where part of the Buschur parkage. I think later on I am going to get the Kelfords when I get the extra money.

He is running E85 Fuel. I would recommend the Kelford 272/272. I get about 20 requests a day asking about the kelfords.

They 272/272 Evolution 8 cams should be back in stock this week and ready for shipment. If you have any questions regarding the Kelfords let me know.

Yeah, when I ordered my cams and took about 1 month to arrive, they arrived w/o a cam card. What do I do? Do I even need one? I don't have cam gears. And don't plan on getting a set for a while.

Well if you have a problem with your cam they can tell you build date/when they were first purchased through an id number on it.
