Question How different are the Cossworth M2 and Kelford 272 for Evo 8

How similar are the Cossworth M2 cams to the Kelford 272s? I know they have the same lift but I have not being able to find the duration at 0.04 in (1 mm). It is not on their spec sheet. If specs are not available I am mostly interested on which one has a better idle a better drivability. Anyone have used both cams on an Evo 8?

I am curious as to this comparison as well. Although I would like to see the GSC S2's included too! Which is better given a 7500 RPM limit?

At least the specs for the S2 are on their website. The S2 are a little more aggresive than the Kelford 272. They have more lift on the intake (0.2mm) and a little more duration on intake and exhaust with the same centerlines. Very close but a little bigger. Not sure about the M2s.

Any reason or hard evidence on that? I am just curious. Too bad M2 were not part of the AMS Cam Test.

Someone was going to put both cams on a cam doctor awhile back to measure specs, but I don't know if this was ever done or not.
