Cam selection help

Everywhere I try to get Kelford 272 cams from are out of stock and have no ETA on when them or their vendors will get them again... Any suggestions to another good cam of similar size?
Yes, I've done some research and I know HKS 272's are actually very mild and JUN 272's are more aggresive. Got it! I keep reading there are issues getting FP4R's to idle right, ect.. ect...

My setup will be:
FP Red
TurboXS FMIC
ETS U/L I/C piping
TiTek o2
BR d/p
BR catback
PTE 1000cc injectors
Walbro 255
FP 84mm Intake
ARP headstuds
GSC Beehive Valve Springs

GSC S2, Kelford 272, Buschur 272, or the FP4R

I believe that Reese Tuning has a set or two of the Kelford's for 8's and 9's.

I heard the buschur's are copies of the jun cams so they are the most agressive. I had cosworth m2's in my previous evo and I liked them. I see alot of people use the gsc cams too with no problems.
