im just curious if the kelfords produced any better #s? im deciding between both cams so i figured id ask if anyone has one and a possible dyno sheet... plus i searched and no one has compared these 2 cams yet...

I haven't seen the FP4R's on an 8 yet, but on IX's they typically are tougher to get squared away with good idle as well as get the power out of them that you'd expect.
I have a friend with an IX w/ Kelford 272's, another 8 w/ them, and I upgraded from HKS 280's to them (and gsc beehive springs) and I can honestly say they idle awesome, make great torque, and sustain power up top. IMHO for drop in and make power, go with the kelfords.

I know the Kelford 272s are a great cam. I have seen numerous evo 8 running them and they got nothing but great things to say about them. I cant wait to start my build and have these babies installed.

Just to add to what I said above: If you wanna stick with stock valvesprings and be easier on your valvetrain, skip both of these and go with the HKS 280's. Killer cams, I had them for a long time and they made awesome power. They would work just dandy with the red as well.

^ Good job, i was just about to mention the ams cam test. Ams compares both cams in that test and the Kelfords are the clear winner. Go kelford or go home....lol
