Kelford 272's or GSC cams for my HX40?

Ok so I have a 6 blade HX40 that I'm looking to install on my talon, and I'm searching for suggestions on a set of Cams to get the most out of this Turbo. Eventually I'd like to make around 600WHP, but for now I'm shooting for the 500whp range.

My setup will basically look like this:

Built 2.0 Block
HX40
DSM Link
E85

I've narrowed it down to the Kelford 272's and GSCs.

Also, I plan on either using the Beehive Valvesprings unless someone has a better recommendation on something else..
 
Beehive springs if you plan on using Kelfords (which I recommend for your build)
 
If you learn how duration and lift work,
and know where you want your powerband to be,
and know what your turbo is capable of,
you'll have your answer.

If you don't do those things, your build will always be sub-par.

I don't need a smartass comment. I know a lot of that, I want suggestions.

Both sets are obviously good choices. Maybe there's someone out there that has the EXACT same setup as I do, and has results to share instead of just speculation?
 
Your original post makes it seem like you don't know how cams work, and you're just going by what you've been told. Looks like you've got it all under control then.
