Seriously, how many threads do we need about these cams? I can't count how many times I've said:
-i have them, they're awesome
-you *should* upgrade your springs (I used GSC 5039 beehive's) to run these but
-you *don't have to* upgrade your springs to run these
-I make similar peak torque and power to my hks 280s but hold 20+whp more at 7000rpms (IX turbo can fall off after 6500 pretty hard). These cams are very top happy!
-They are very very very similar to cosworth M2 cams, both VIII and IX
-The idle is very mellow, perfect for a DD or mega modded car
-Above that, the street manners are awesome, great for a DD
-Did I mention I DD my car?
-Did I mention this thread is about kelford 272s?

Side notes:
-yes I put 30k miles on my hks 280s on stock springs with no issues
-yes they were way awesome for DD, no issues.

mods, can we just sticky this? :P

 

thumbnail no workie???

 

I like it, You've convinced me. Any thoughts on using them in a 2.5L?

 

If I read between the lines I would say that you are recommending the Kelford 272 cams.

 

I has no monies

 

cant go wrong with kelfords I recommend them as well

 

too funny!

wow 2.202 secs for the search function...

 

That's a slow search you got there. What cams do you recommend though?

 

I guess I am the only one who has been disappointed with Kelfords. Lost a lot of midrange and made the same peak power versus Tomei Poncams (after tuning the Kelfords). This was on an 8, not on my car.

I understand there are two different Kelford 272s. Which one is everyone using?

 

So you think these are worth it if I currently have HKS?
