Anyone using any of the 3 Brian Crower cams for IX's?

I'm looking at the street/strip cams BC0121 272's. http://www.briancrower.com/makes/mit...g63_evo9.shtml

I haven't seen anything on here about them for a IX and most people call them BC, so it's too short for searching.
Anyway they are cheap, $420 directly, even cheaper through my favorite vendor.
The person at BC that I talked through email with claimed 33hp gained, but didn't have a dyno sheet available to send me.

Anyone? How are they on VIII's ?

Funny you should bring it up.

I just ordered some and I'll be on the dyno on Nov. 24, I'll post a write-up

Cool! When are you installing them? Have you had other cams?

I know I know, the 288's are too big for me though.

I just want some opinions, like how do his 272's compare to other 272's...ie you know like Jun 272's are way more agressive than hks 272's etc

The lift is ridiculously low on the 272's I was considering these cams but have since opted to go with cosworth. Even though they are cheaper than the rest, it's not worth it to me if you're getting such low lift on the exhaust side. It's barely higher than the stock lift.

What about the 2nd set? Too aggressive for flashed ECU cars?

Not for a flash but too aggressive for stock valvetrain and stock turbo. It'll push the powerband way to far to take advantage of with the stock turbo. Just take a look at the cosworth test that Pure Tuning just performed on a mustang dyno. They made insane gains all through the powerband.

I have a new set of SuperTech dual springs and Ti retainers and plan to go with an FP GReen. Would that be good enough for the middle of the road cams from BC?

The lift on the 272s is about 0.5mm more than stock both intake & exhaust. Duration @ 0.050 is close to stock.

Which ones are you talking about? The 272's?
I'm kinda looking at the 280's now

Did he dyno?

evo L

nope, just street tune for now, the car has a few more parts going on so no point in dynoing now, but ive used a few other cams in the same size range, the BC's were easily comparible to the competition.
