Manufacturer’s Pitch

The ultimate in EVO camshafts. This new custom grind from Buschur Racing has proven itself to make the most power of any camshaft we have tested to date in the EVO. We’ve had these cams custom ground and are glad we can offer them at a reasonable price to our customers. These camshafts are recommend for use with FP RED, GT30 series or larger turbo and will require our spring and retainer kit to support them.

INFO

Designed for use with a FP RED or GT30 size turbo or larger, the Buschur Racing BF272 camshaft set delivers power without any significant idling issues. Compared to the factory camshafts, the BF272s extracted more than 110 additional horsepower from our 4G63 engine. With the BF272s, the peak power shifts from 7,000 to 8,400 RPM. These camshafts also require the installation of aftermarket valve springs. Although the power drops noticeably from 3,000 to 4,500 RPM, this loss of power may be attributed to the large runners of the aftermarket intake manifold on our test vehicle.

From 4,000 RPM to redline, the Buschur 272 cams delivered a significant increase in VE over the factory units.
