cam gear settings

i know this has been discussed before, but I just want to make sure there is no new findings to change responses. I currently have cam gears in at -5/-5 without cams, but I am now putting cams in and going in for a retune at Turbotrix. What should I set the gears to now with the 272's? Im getting them installed and then driving to TT untuned, so what would be the best setting at least temporarily?

No new findings on HKS 272s that I know of. Personally I'd still favor the -4/-1 setting for a near stock idle and slightly better topend (will give up some spoolup: ~100rpm). Ted B has some excellent posts on the subject.

I dunno, I dig my +1/-1

I am going to try +2/-1 and +3/-1 here pretty soon, with logs.

I use -2 -2. I had -5 -5 and it was way too soft. -2 -2 gave it a good top end and kept the idle fairly smooth.
