i run the hks 272s but i was goin to buy the kelfords. i happend to come across a deal and got the hks 272s. BC cams are alot cheaper but they dont make nearly the power that hks or kelfords do. So your goin to get what you pay for.

I say get the Kelford 272's and then 1050 injectors. That will handle your power up to the 400hp mark you want givin you are trying to run 93 or race gas. you might need a little bigger injector if you go e85

Don't run Kelfords unless you plan on also upgrading your springs/retainers. They may not NEED them for the car to run but you will be risking floating a valve.
If your car is mildly modded than I say GSC S1's. If you plan on major mods down the line then the Kelford 272's/M2's or BSC S2's with valvetrain upgrade would be good.
Also, the BC 272's are just as good as the HKS 272's. I've personally experienced both of them. They are pretty much identical in power but the BC's seem to idle a little better. I think the BC and HKS 272's are a good overall cam for a mild built Evo.

Yup its been said time and time again. The Kelford 272's are a very good all around cam, GSC S2's are also in the mix. Tomie 280's are way way way too much for a 400hp goal, there not very streetable, and would push your power band way past were you valve train, and turbo could handle.
