Hks 264/272 cam equivalant

[AWD]

Hey,

What is the web cam equivalant of the hks 264/272 combo? I have am putting in 8.5 Ross pistons in my car, shold i go with the full race combo? I'm looking to hit mid 11's

If mid 11's is your goal get the HKS 272/272 combo.

I'd go with the Web Cams 547/547. There also alot cheaper but the same as the HK$

They are cheaper alright. In price and quality.

i have web cams 546/547, works fine for me

 

[mlopez]

Definitely get the 272/272 hks cams.

 

[peregrine]

agreed. the web cams lobe centers are notoriously off. get the hks's. they are tried and true

Thanks for the Advice. Will I need stronger retainers/springs on the 272/272 combo

Only if you plan on spinning the motor past 8500rpms. Stock 1G head has gone 10.6@132

Holy #### was that a stupid statement!

The web street cams are 272i 256e. That isn’t anywhere near equivalent on the 264i/272I both in terms of idle or overall power made.

Works fine for me is COMPLTELY different than “I saw X more power on the dyno” or “I say X improvement in my traps” or even “I have a decent idle with plenty of vacuum.

HKS will make more power AND have a better idle.

mlopez: I know this is off topic, but where did you get the front lip for your front bumper? That looks awesome.

hey guys i just got a tsi a month ago and its has 272's across the board.. what i was wondering is do they make a bigger cam than that and if so, is there any down side to running them?

 

[NOSLO2PT0]

You don't need a bigger cam.

 

[RACER-X]

how do you know what i do and don't need? do you know what i'm running in my tsi?

 

[NOSLO2PT0]

Your right. I don't know what you are running or what you need. But since most of the fastest DSM's (550whp and higher) are running 272's, I don't really see the need for anything bigger. But if you wanna shed some light on your buildup, please do so.

 

[RACER-X]

well i'm kinda going with the same concept as another member on this board, and since he is keeping it a secret - i think i should also (dont want to piss him off). all i can say is it looks like the stock big 16g, but it's far from it.... and i was thinking maybe a bigger cam or combo with the 272 that i would pick up a few extra ponies.

if your ganna keep your stuff a secret, how do you expect us to help you out ?

 

[RACER-X]

well my orig. question was " do they make a bigger cam then the 272 (hks) and if so, is there any down side to running them? now for this question i don't think we need to get into specifics as far as what i'm running and what my current project is.

RAcer-x,
I hope your mod list is from that GS car and not the AWD. But anyways, yes, there are bigger cams than the 272's, but they are pretty much a drag purpose only cam. Crower makes some custom grinds if you really gotta have em.

 

[RACER-X]

yes, those mods are for the gs. i just got the tsi a month ago. no, i don't have to have them, but always looking for new way to make power; especially if noone has tryed them yet. i dont want to do what everone else is doning or use what everyone else is using. trying new ideas is half the fun.

 

[cait sith]

Honestly, if you have to ask who MAKES cams that are larger than 272 grind, you don't NEED cams larger than 272 grind.

 

[RACER-X]

well you might want to learn how to read before responding to a post. i was not asking who... i was asking if hks made a bigger cam and i also asked if anyone was running them to find out if they would be worth looking into.

 

[OneFastGST]

i can tell there is ganna be alot of people helping this guy out next time he ask's for something.
