anyone ever use a set of kalford cams in their 1j?
looking into a set just wondering what the power band was like

Kelford will make any grind under the sun, so there's no way we can tell you how they'll run without more information. To be perfectly honest, I've got BC 272 cams in my 1J and they're fantastic bang for the buck. Readily available and not expensive.
Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God do you learn.

Just an example, but the GSC S2 cam lobes were too big for the 1J head (I tried it already), as the intake cam sits about 2mm forward when using 2J cams.
Different cams, who knows.
The width of the lobes will be the deciding factor, not the grind of the duration.
VRP74TBB w/ ETT, 880cc, Stinger 4424, A1000, 272's, ACT eXtreme, 1mm OS valve dual spring ferrea everything and ported 1JZ head, 2.5L block. 27+PSI on 93 + meth 50/50, SP QSV. ???rwhp.
635rwhp on old 2J block.
The 2jz cams have a larger front journal that needs to be machined before it can drop into the head.
That sucks the s2's need to have the head clearanced on the 1jz setup...
IMO, $800 for a set of gsc cams isn't terrible, especially considering the gains vs other cams.
That sucks. I've been wanting to run machined gsc s2s on a 1jz, oh well I guess I'll Just build a 2jz next time.

How much horse and torqe did you go up by with the 272 cams?
I dunno. 10.3mm lift on the exhaust, 9.3mm lift on the intake with 1mm OS valves, and I rev it to 9,000.
I never did a stock cams comparison, but 272's help in high RPMs I've heard
Like I said, Im doing a 2jz set up next. Aftermarket support is sooo much better.
Btw what fuel rail are you running Zach? I wanted to ask you when I saw your car but totally forgot lol
those s2's are better than the hks 272s?
S2 cams are insane for what they are. Pretty much the most aggressive cam for the street. The s3 cams are for something like an 80mm+ turbo, the s2 cams are for a 71-80mm turbo. S1 is for a 71mm and under.

In progress, we will see what comes out of the garage this go around << click for build thread
Moved to 1J section. You will get a better response there bud.
aww im torn between the 264s and 272s..i want mid and i want high end range lol...I dunno. 10.3mm lift on the exhaust, 9.3mm lift on the intake with 1mm OS valves, and I rev it to 9,000.

what are your head specs bro? anything ported? Im leaning more towards the 264s

IMO, pick your turbo, then pick your cams.
I went with a 74mm for all top end torque, and that's what my setup is for.
My head is completely ported, titanium retainers, bronze guides, Ferrea everything. It's in the sig.
Ive got the hx40 sitting on the shelf i believe thats a 74mm trim.. ive decided on ported and port matched manifolds. titanium retainers and springs and hks 264s
