To Cam or not to Cam!?!?

I have 264/264 combo and am extremely happy! I've never stalled and with a custom tune from Al (or any other vendor) the idle is perfect. The power delivery is noticable through the entire RPM range.
BTW, I've done some serious thinking about cam size of late, and I'd have to say you also need to consider where you are going to be reving. If you are planning to stay near the stock rev limit (or under 8,000RPM or so) I would say 264s are plenty. If you are going to rev higher, or are looking into a big turbo, you may want 272s or 280s.
With my car I hit the rev limiter at 7,800 and the car is still pulling hard.
Best of luck!

Does anyone have a link to a 272/272 cams set at 0 0? I have been searching this board for hours and I Can't find them and if I do the link is dead.... I remember seeing a yellow one with HKS cam gears a while back but can't find that either.
