Why 280's? Is it better than 272's? Will I lose bottom end?

Thank you Kevin, you have been very helpful.

Not that I care too much, but Martin were you going to post the Greddy easy cams graph up? I know most people wont buy these cams, but I know its the only one missing from the others.

Wow, those Kelfords are awesome.
Can I expect similar results on a IX?

Am I the only one who can see that the GSC S2 performed just about the same as the Kelford 272? The GSC was a little stronger in the low-to-mid range, the Kelford had the edge up top.
Peak power is nice for dyno sheets and bench racing, but midrange power is nice when you have to shift and re-spool a turbo and actually win a race in real life.
I'm not saying to buy the GSC. Both cams responded very well on Martin's car. I have no loyalty to any of them, just calling attention to both sides of the coin.
