evo 9 HKS cams question?
If someone can help me. I bought a HKS 272 cams intake 10.8 lift and 278 exhaust 11.0 lift and wanted to know if I need to mount valve spring.

Thanks

i'm not sure, but the ramp up rate and lift are very safe.

you are looking at two different gens of hks cams, the 272 is gen 1 are requires no changes, the 274/278 are second gen and require a spring change.. I have used both and currently use the 274/278 so I speak from experience. good luck.
