Should I swap out my cams?

I'm running the HKS 272's and was wondering if I should swap 'em out with Kelford's when I do the RED. I've heard a lot of good things about the Kelford's and I wish I would've got those to begin with. Do you think it's a big difference?

yes, switch to Kelford 272s, gsc s2s, or cosworth m2s for your setup

According to AMS' cam testing results...definitely switch.
Cosworth M2s or Kelford 272s

I dunno if I'd do them right when doing the red, but sure...stock turbo or red, kelford 272s > hks 272s...a little tougher on your valvetrain though.

I can't wait till someone else starts another thread on kelfords over cam x.

Kelfords for sure. They are working GREAT on my ix turbo, im sure they are awesome on a Red. But you should probably upgrade the valve train.

I wish I would've went a different route to begin with but I'm sure I can get rid of the HKS's pretty quick on here.

Thanks for all the input. I'll probably get the Kelfords.
