INFO
The mildest of the TOMEI offerings, this 270-camshaft set comes standard with a high lift of 11.5mm on both the intake and exhaust sides. Unlike some of the other 272-series camshafts tested, TOMEI’s reached peak power at a lower 7,900 RPM. While the idle quality did suffer compared to the factory camshafts, these TOMEI 270s allowed for more power to be produced from 4,000 all the way to 8,500 RPM. On our test EVO, we gained nearly 130 horsepower over the factory bumpsticks. With the TOMEI 270s installed in the EVO, we experienced a 20 percent gain in power with no additional boost pressure.
RUNDOWN
570.62 WHP @ 7,900 RPM
407.05 LB-FT @ 6,000 RPM
Peak power checked in at 7,900 RPM, while the power curve stayed flat from 7,500 RPM all the way up to the 8,500 RPM. Peak boost was reached at 4,700 RPM. A flat torque curve from 5,300 to 7,300 RPM reached a maximum just shy of 410 lb-ft at 6,000 RPM. The highest VE value of 99 was recorded between 6,000 and 6,500 RPM. From 4,000 RPM to redline, the TOMEI 270’s VE values trumped the factory VE numbers.
