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:thumb:
 
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.
 
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

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