HKS 272 and JIC sound

OK spite all the controversy and here say, i put in 272/272, i figured that the idle would suck terribly bad and i would have to add some fuel at idle...

but, nothing....they work great, and have no problems at all

anyway

Here is a video of that lets you hear the so called "irratic idle".

Power is great, driveability is great, now i just need to tune these bad boys

My 264/272 sound a LITTLE bit smoother but not much, it's more sound and my idle is rock solid.

my idle is fine... ~900 rpms some times 1000 rpms, i did notice that my vac pressure went down at idle, but when in gear and such its how it was before the cams, boost is fine, power has increased.

I actually chirped the tires from 1st, and then from second to third...

My vac when warm is about -11-12ish and you can see it move when you hear the cam hit. Off idle the power just flat out kicks ***. Also don't bump the idle up too much because you can get a CEL from that as well. damn OBD2 crap

There has been a shortage of HKS 264/272 cams. Does anyone out there know if they are becoming more available? I'm about ready to take the cammy plunge. Sorry, I know I'm a little off topic, but not too bad....

IIRC, Buschur had a bunch of 272's he was unloading around the holidays, don't know if he still has them.

FWIW, I love my 272's, the idle is a little rough, but the top end pulls like a prom date giving her first handjob.

That prom date joke made me choke on my beer. That was funny. Are JBrennen's HKS? Thanks Nastea. I'll PM him.

I did have a complete extra set, but they have been promised to a local buyer. I ordered a set from one vendor, and when they were taking a bit long to arrive, I went ahead and ordered from RevHigh Online, who had them in stock and delivered me a set within a few days. They might be worth a try:
