Kelford Cams are amazing

i'm loving the Kelford cams. on the tomei procam 270/270 i hit full boost at 4850rpm on my GT35R. on kelford 272/272 i'm hitting full boost 4422rpm. 400rpm increase in spool up. Also we all know about big intake manifold will give more top end but yet looses spool up and low end. Kelford cams solved the issues. Graph will be up soon.

I am wondering if going from my current HKS 280's to a Kelford 272 setup is a worthwhile move. Or would I just be doing a lot of wrenching for nothing? Has anyone done this change before? If so, what do you think?

Been there, done it. You will sacrifice little or no midrange and power will stay flat once it hits its peak up top, instead of dropping off like it did with the hks 280's. 280's FTW on stock valvetrain, but if you don't mind the risk of being harder on it or steppign up to some upgraded springs, kelfords are the way to go. Smoother idle too, more driveable.

Just did this myself in November.

The D or E? I am thinking the D since you said 280s?

Nice that you are seeing gains in spool if nothing else (I am sure the power is there as well) Charlie

My evo is full blow time attack/shop car. Well been driving on the street and tune for 91 octane crappy gas. I also put on the worst exhaust Apexi World sports. damn exhaust 2.75" and taper down to like 2.5". But i don't really care since it's very quiet, unlike when we are on our time attack 3.25" pipe form turbo back. on the bottom you can see my evo specs. the only changes is i went form Magnus to my sponsor intake manifold from Driven Innovation. We constantly testing different setup on my evo for time attack/road course. Last year alone we won 3 times in the time attack series "Modified Class champion".
