There is absolutely no question that the Kelford 272 does not spool up as early nor as quick as the set of HKS 280 cams they replaced on my Evo 8. However the Kelford does make more power. HKS cams were set at +2/0, the Kelfords at 0/0. The cam change was the only mod done, so I had a direct before and after comparison. Not only did the dyno chart bear this out, the car also feels lazier as far as getting into and out of boost. I run a built 2.0l with an AMS 50trim.

Not sure how much gained. I got street tuned instead of a dyno tune. But butt dyno tells me its faster.
