Straight 272, maybe 280 if they work with a flash.

Thanks,
The car was flashed/tuned before then dyno'd. After the install it was flashed/tuned with a little more fuel up-top and dyno'd again. Huge power gain, GSC is awesome.

If you do have the Pipers on your car, I'm interested in what you think since there seems to be conflicting reports.

I do not currently have the cams on my car. but i will when i get the trans and transfer case back in. i can give you a report then.

I can vouch for them. they were in my car before i bought it and will soon be going back in.

If you're not planning on getting adjustable cam gears, then just run 264/264. I had HKS272/272 set at -4/-1 and I loved them. Very good idle, very good power. Right now I'm running HKS 280s at +2/0, but the new setup isn't tuned 100% yet, so the jury is still out.

I am guessing those popped up from someone I sold them to. I believe I have been the only shop that imported Piper's. Yes, they are very good due to higher lift, less necessary duration (per each application) and asymmetric lobe profile.
I still have a set available.

I love the power and driveability of my Works 269 cams. Not to lumpy of an idle and no cam gears needed.

I guess if you have emissions to worry about the 264's are the way to go..
