Kelford 272's Timing Q's for EVO 8

Not sure if a tuner would be the one to tell me, or if I should know for when I take the cams into get them installed.

What should I tell the installer to set them too?

I know the HKS sweet spot is -4 intake/-1 exhaust I think, looking for a similiar setup with the kelfords if any one knows some sweet spots?

Thanks again in advance.

0/0 is what im at. Seems to be what they like for best overall gains. But I still want to play with the cam timing more on the dyno.

what i have read is the setting +1/-1 the best for a strong mid range and spool and -4/-1 the best for peak power

In that case, leave them right where they are. If you can stand a shakier idle, you can get a bump in midrange torque by retarding the exh cam 1 degree.

Forget about applying HKS settings with anything but HKS cams.
