Kelford 264 or 272 cams?

I have a 06 MR, performance wise it will have HKS hi-power exhaust, AEM intake, upgraded fuel pump, upgraded LICP, AEM tru-boost, and a tune from English Racing. My question is which cams would you guys recommend for a daily driver, the 264 or the 272? Thanks guys for your input!

What's the real difference between the two as far as characteristics? I'm really quite torn between the two.

Well that depends on what your ultimate endgame for the car is... I mean is it soley gonna be your DD or are you eventually looking to crack 500HP with this thing? Also how do you feel about your idle? Is a loopy idle going to bother you?

i hear that a lot of the lope can be dialed out with the mivec tuning
I guess the real question is, what are the best cams ultimately for the turbo you will be running?

Honestly, I probably wont go past 400hp for a long time, and it will be on the stock turbo. It will be soley my DD.

I would go with the 272s they have more out top than a 264 which is better for mid range power. And yes the lope can be tuned out by messing with fuel and timing and the set idle point. If you like the lope just tard the timing some and lower the idle to around 800 and 272s will stomp the ground pretty hard, but don't expect to be able to use your ac anymore like this.
