Cam sizing, what to do with?

[turbotalon1g]

So most of you are familiar with the setup i wish to go to, question i have is are 280s gonna be good enough, are they too big or small.
I have been trying to do reading on this, but i haven't found enough to lean either way.
Some say it is perfect for stroker, some say too small if you are not revving high (8500+ rpm).
At this point i just don't know anymore, and i so figured that i would ask.

I like the FP3 or 3x's for strokers. You NEED dual springs though.

Have you flow benched your head? If your going all out, then i would recommend flow benching your head then call up comp cams and have them help you select a cam or have them grind you one. It really is not that expensive and you would maximize your cams potential.

Sorry for not being clear, i guess the thing is that i am reading that with 280s, that the bottom end flow is nonexistent and i don't want to wait to 4k for all the power at once, maybe i should go down to 272s?

[Shane55113]

has any one tried 272 intake and 280 exh?

[Speedfreak]

I basically have the setup you are trying to build. I love my 272's.

I say go for HKS 280's or 272's. If you need to go bigger later, go for it. But for now, tried and true results.

^thanks, i know that some of your around, and i will be picking the hell out of your brains for the next few months while i do.
I appreciate all the help.
Do you need a spring/retainer kit for these?
i will probably get one anyway to take advantage of the 8000-8500 redline i am hoping to have.

I am gonna see if i can switch to HKS 272s and spring/retainer set, i won't be upgrading or changing after that.

HKS 272's on a 2.4 are about like stock cams on a 2.0. With the 2.4 you can go BIG! I have Crower 415's in my car, they are huge and still give a good midrange. I would look at the FP3's like Steve said, you probably want a bit bigger than 280's.
