I recently attempted to order 272's for my ix. After a f-up they are sending me 280 instead. I originally wanted 272 because it was my impression that was as big as a stock set up could go, which I am. I am not able to send them back due to a no return policy. So now that I have them can they be run on a stock set up?

 

What brand cams are they as that will depend on whether you can use them on the factory set up. For example i run HKS 280's on the factory valve train, but for Kelford 272's you need to uprate the valve train.

 

They are buddy club both intake and exhaust are 280

 

Who did you buy them through? If its there fault sending you the wrong ones they SHOULD wave the no returns since it wasn't your fault..IF you don't want to put them on blast can you please PM me? As far as the cams, I would just upgrade the springs and retainers anyways if it is in your car budget. Just for a piece of mind. You could always talk to the tuner and they might be safe under a certain RPM limit.

 

its a small tune shop in socal i know them from being in the area before, originally they said 272 was as big as i should go now that they sent me 280 their saying that they will be ok in a stock set up so not sure which statement i should trust....if i was to keep them and not try to re sell them, are the springs and retainers all that i need to change or do i need to change more ie:rocker arms, lifters

 

springs and retainers.

 

Your in PA. Contact TSCOMPUSA.NET he will help you out.

 

sounds fishy to me. What is the name of the shop? I used to live in socal and if it who I am thinking of, this is exactly the type of shady stuff that I expect.

 

If you paid for cams you didn't get then you need to demand a refund or exchange. There is no such thing as a "well I sent the wrong product, but there's no return policy so you are going to have to just deal with that".

I can sell you cams, and do the install if you need someone to do so. I think you emailed me and i responded back.

Also Thanks for mentioning my name ckevo8rs.

Whenever someone mentions "tscompusa" on here it sends me a notice.

 

Sounds like we should make a game out of this! Tag tscompusa! Lol

 

II took my valve cover off and can see no identifiable marks on the cams how can I identify what cams I have

 

Well after a few emails and a heated phone call they are going to exchange the 280's for the 272's now its just a waiting game for them to get my package before they send me the 272's

 

You can run kel 272, cosworth m2 and gsc s2 with out spring.

Ive done it on both

Gsc s2r and tomei 270 not so much


Only 280 i would run with out spring are hks though

 

I will go with the GSC s2 I just bought it with retainers and valvules for my setup

 

If it took that much work to get it right, I'd take my business elsewhere if I were you. Shops like this one give the industry a bad rep.
