Nope, you're wrong too. It's a typo on HKS's website.

i just spoke to Turbotrix regarding the differences between the comp cams 280's and the HKS 280's and found out that they were the same but the comp cams are a CHEAPER
alternative....

if you have the HKS 280's already hold onto them, if you are still in the market looking for cams, get the comp cams and save your self some money for other things.

Here are the specs on the HKS cams. They are the ones not labelled in the gray on page 87. It looks like the 264 have more lift than the 272's and 280's according to crower's measurements.

HP per dollar is definitely there with these cams. I only got 20whp from my HKS 272s.

Did you upgrade your valve train? Did you loose any low end torque? How is your idle?

Well,I guess that if you keep the stock rev limiter then you can use the stock valvetrain.

I know, I was showing the specs on the HKS units. They are the ones in gray. People were discussing if all the HKS cams have the same lift or not.

Stock valvetrain will be fine even with the Rev limiter raised to 8k RPM. The stock valvetrain will handle a lot more than people think.
