Well the 272's would be less lopey, but you will be able to get the most power with the 280's. If i were running your setup, i would go with the 272's they will be better on the street and keep your idle streetable
 
272's (I don't care about idle or power in the sub 5K rpm range, I have 280's)...
 
I kinda tought the 280's were a little to big. Thank you all for the input, guess i have a brand new set of BC 280's still in the sealed box for sale if anyones interested. I had bought them thinking i was going the 2.3 route, but after all other things could not afford the stroker kit. Thank you all for the info and hope i don't lose my shirt selling these
 
What do you plan on reving it to? I can't believe no one asked that already... If you're looking at an 8,500rpm or higher rev limit, keep the 280's.
