280s seem like quite a jump. You will probably lose some low end grunt, but the combined set of mods should still put out decent HP. 272/272 is great, but you need to decide what you're looking for. If you don't already know the difference between 264s 272s and 280s, then you need to slow down and start doing your homework before just buying things. TT knows what they're doing, but peak HP isn't the end-all be-all of modding.
