I have BC 272's w/ stock springs/retainers. They are lopey, but not too bad. I like it. I'll be getting on the dyno for a tune this coming week and I'm very excited to see what it puts down. Even on my stock flash with the mods I have, they still pull like crazy, even though the car is running on stock tune. I recommend them, solid core, clean grind, nice pull, for half the price!!! Daily driven.

I have BC 272, with stock retainers and springs, installed on my Car, lope is good and stealth. After my tune I picked up around 20whp reaching 300whp. Before my cams I was around 279whp, my car pulled great towards readline with the stock '05 turbo. Great bang for the buck for $320 shipped from a local vendor.

I have an 05 MR with brian crower 272 springs and retainers put in about 2000 miles ago. Great cams and with springs my rev limiter is set to 8200. I have full exhaust intake and 24psi boost making 335whp on 90 degree day. I do think these cams make slightly less hp than some other like hks but then again revolvers or jun will make even more but I think the super smooth idle is worth it. So basically in the interest of making a little more power maybe go 280's but Ihave no complaints with my BC cams.

Yes the recommend it but why wouldn't they all the company's want to sell you more parts. Bottom line you don't need them until you hit 280's but it will idle nicer and you can rev higher.

BC recommends that if you do 280's(stage 3's) that you need to replace the springs/retainers, but with the 272's(stage 2's) you do not need to. That's how they explained it to me. I am on the stock springs/retainers and haven't had a problem at all. Redline 8000.
