INFO

A power increase of nearly 90 horsepower can be realized with the Comp 272+ (256/257) camshaft set. While these camshafts delivered more power at the expense of a noticeably lopier idle, the additional 20 percent power at the peak means that significant gains can be realized with the Comp 272+ cams. While the Comp 272+ cams saw minimal power losses when compared to the 264+ cams under 4,500 RPM, the power bump from 5,000 RPM to redline demonstrated a strong powerband of the 272+ cams.

541.34 WHP @ 7,900 RPM
409.63 LB-FT @ 6,100 RPM

Peak power checked in at 7,900 RPM, while the power curve stayed flat from 7,600 RPM all the way up to the 8,500 RPM redline. Peak boost was reached at roughly 4,600 RPM. A flat torque curve from 5,000 to 6,250 RPM reaches a maximum just shy of 410 lb-ft at 6,100 RPM. The highest VE values of 99.9 were recorded at 6,500 RPM, and almost all the way from idle to redline (save for 3,500 RPM), Comp 272+ VE values topped the factory VE by a noticeable amount.
