The Kelford 272 is a good cam. Without knowing anything else about your car we cannot recommend cams for your vehicle

I'll be putting Tomei 270s in my VIII soon. The lift is quiet a bit higher than the Kelford 272s.

What's your other mods?

Something tells me you didn't read the post and immediately went for the biased "Kelford 272 or S2" approach. There are other proven cams, not everyone want the cookie cutter modded Evo.

To the OP, the 5 speed does have a long 5th gear that doesn't match with 1-4 but in a drag race, you only need 1-4 until you start trapping 125-140mph depending on your shift point.
