272 cams

[allrice4g63]

ok this may sound stupid to some people but im just curious about this. i was replacing my vavle cover seal the other day and i noticed that on my cams it said 272 now is this a stock application or did somebody replace the cams with either crower or hks 272 cams before i bought the car like i said it may be a stupid question but i dont know the answer so any input would be sweet thanks!

272's are not stock, more than likely the BC 272's they are aftermarket.

Does it sound like you have cams? 272's are extremely noticeable over a stock setup. Do a search on youtube.

The idle note will drastically change.
Search "272 cams" on youtube.

272 on stock applications from the factory would have been awesome

Yeah they are aftermarket, nice lopping deep bass sound, you can't miss it.

you should have a high low high low pitch at idle... sounds like the cars gonna die!

comp 100-200 cams I had a nice blown out intake gasket at the time I took the video. It still sounds kinda like this though just not like its going to die.

Do they actually say 272 or is the last 2 upside down. If the last 2 is upside down, then it's stock.

no they actually do say 272 on them. Its a 98 tsi with stock motor! its got a slight lope to it at idle. maybe thats why i have no bottom end but it picks up really good in high rpms who knows! i would take pics but i just put the a new valve cover gasket in and i dont wanna take the valve cover off and have to replace the gasket again!!

The gasket will be ok for you to snap some pics for us, it hasn't been on to long has it?

Who did you get the talon from? Is it white or silver by any chance? There is a white 98 talon that just got sold, he said it was totally stock..
