For those of you with the 272 cams, how do you like them, and what kind of powergain did you get? I'm still deciding if I should get those or the Tein coilovers. Also, how much did they cost you out the door including installation and tuning (and who installed them)?
Thanks

 

I think josh from the oc has them

 

I would go for Teins first.

 

I was thinking about going with suspension mod first, but my 18's will rub for sure (and I don't want to roll my fenders).

 

Mark,

Josh (nynguah) has the cams - 272 exhaust / 264 intake cams. I drove his evo and it really pulls hard on the top end. The cams take away that engine whine we are all used caused by the stock cams and the engine now sounds really beefy. It doesnt even sound like an evo. The idle sounds super aggressive and it really growls under WOT. If you want some cams, talk to me. I'll get you a really good price.

does it idle rough or like stock?

 

There is a bit of a lope, but overall, very stock-like and manageable. I drive 50 miles roundtrip daily and it's just fine - even with the A/C running. I'm thrilled overall

Pricing is around $350 in labor at Technosquare, and CoolGuy949 (Rob) can probably get you the best deal on parts. Apparently the real trick is to even find them in stock - fairly elusive units from what I understand. While you have everything open under the hood, you may want to consider adjustable cam gears and a new timing belt. Course, that starts to add up quick

Thanks for the info. Yeah, I plan on getting the cam gears, belt & cams done at the same time. How long did it take them just to put in the cams?

 

I gave them my car for the whole day, but I believe it was only a few hours. They said getting the timing right was the most time consuming process.

Would it be alright if I can meet up with you and take a ride in your car sometimes early next month? I'd like to get the overall feel before I get those cams.
Thanks

 

Not a problem - if not at the meet, then whenever. PM me and let me know when

-Josh

 

is there a big difference perofomancewise on the 272's and the 264's.im planning to do this on my next mod so any tips would help.

coolguy949, I was wondering if you could get me some HKS cams?

I am looking for 264 intake and 272 exhaust. I am looking to get these asap. Let me know, Ryan
