About to upgrade my sorry briancrowers 272s to something esle..im leaning towards the kelfords 272 but i like the fp cams as well..just waiting on kevin to reply on how much for the kelfords.

 

Seeing as you have a nine Danny, I would go with the FP4 cams. Piece of mind makes up for a lot sometimes its not always power.

 

This. The thought of a cam breaking makes my tummy hurt.

 

fp and support a local company

 

the FP and the kelford cams are both identical, the only difference being the shape of the lobes. and as such, if your afraid of the kelfords breaking, i wouldn't be buying FP.

 

FP4R's for sure. They've never snapped and their low/mid range can't be beat.

I personally have the 4R's in my IX whereas my friend as the Kelford 272's in his IX; he made 2whp peak more than me when we were similarly modded but I spooled 600 rpm quicker and held more power in the upper RPM's.

 

So ur saying the new cores are no good either? Te kelfords are ALOT cheaper

 

FPs cams are made by COMP, comp hasnt had a report of a cam broken yet.

i believe the hydraulic intensity is different on the FPs, meaning valves open faster and stay open longer, better for mid RPM and the kelfords are better for higher.. i may have that backwords tho.
kevin may be able to clarify

i like my fp4r cams.

 

no, i'm saying the new core kelfords are the same as the FP. so if no FP cams have broken, then the kelfords wont break either

 

Mmmm subs. I will be also looking for cams soon. I also like the FP but also seen plenty of evos on kelford making good power.

 

I have a GREAT deal on some slightly used GSC S2's may need some small polish or such to be ready to install.

 

new cores?

 

He is talking about is broken S2s!

Kelford and GSC switched their cores over to the same Comp Core FP uses, so feel free to choose which ones you want..... I personally really like the charateristics of the Kelfords, but the FP 4Rs are going to act VERY similar to the Kelford 272s so I would take which ever one you get a better deal on.

I dont recommend the GSC cams because I think the way they have treated people, and the denial they have had over their broken cams is TERRIBLE and of poor taste. They dont even admit there is a problem, they just changed cores to follow the trend....

 

lol tim you tried to pull a quick one..lol but im guessing ill go with the kelfords. make a lil more power out of this stock turbo.

 

Why don't you spend the money on upgrading your turbo? Seems like it would be around the same cost...
