Should be good for atleast 15-20hp over the stock cams.

From what I've seen with the 272's they do ok. I've never seen a graph with the 274/278 duration. You should see decent gains depending on the lift and other supporting mods....

I have these cams in the car right now and I have no problem with them at all. With the hks 7046 turbo I made 385 with pump on a conservative tune. I'll post the dyno graph when I get home.

264/272 it's a weak and old setup, can't compare to the new HKS grind which has higher lift and duration.

Forged internals, new turbo, cams, and bigger injectors (ID 1000's) are the main power increases. I did not lower compression. I basically went from a fuel pump and tbe tune to a built motor. So I do not know what the power gains would be over a stock cams.

What brand names did you put in for your build.? What evo do you have an VIII or IX.? I know my roommate had stock block and head. Intake turbo back exhaust uicp/licp and intercooler and made 381whp with stock turbo and it was an evo IX.
