How is the drivability and idle of the Kelford 272 on an Evo 8?

How is the drivability and idle of the Kelford 272 on an Evo 8? Are the Kelford 272 a good choice for a daily driver Evo 8 or are they too rough? How do the Kelford 272 compare to the GSC S1 in Power and drivability?

Yes I have search!

Both great cams. If you plan on staying with the stock valve springs the GSC S1's would be the smarter choice since they are a little less aggressive though.

Will the GSC S1 be a good choice for an FP Green on 93 Pump? I want a strong fat powerband even if that does not mean any high peak HP numbers.

If you are worried about drivability with great torque, I would use 264s.

Based on lift and duration specs ONLY. I have no info on ramps.
The GSC S1 are a little more aggresive than the Kelford 264.
The GSC has a slighly higer lift on the exhaust but a lower duration.
They appear to be basically the same specs.



GSC S1---------ADV Duration--------Duration @ 1mm Peak-----Lift------------CenterLine

Intake-----------264------------------216------------------11.00mm-------------107
Exhaust---------268------------------220------------------10.50mm-------------113



Kelford 264---ADV Duration--------Duration @ 1mm Peak-----Lift------------CenterLine

Intake-----------268------------------216------------------11.00mm------------107
Exhaust---------270------------------222------------------10.35mm------------113

I thought Kelford went out of business because no one bought their cams .

Theres no way you searched .
