I said power, i was refering to torque - sorry.
I just think of an engine as making torque, not HP, so when i say power, i reffered to the torque.

I belive the 270's will not only shift the power a few 100ed RPM up, bit it will also lower the decent rate of the torque line.
My aim is basicly, to have the torque drop rate, be smaller.....I.E. A streighter torque line, wich will result in more HP acrross the band.

If i wasnt going to SOLIDS, i wouldnt replace my 260's, but since i need new cams anyway, i am exploring the possibility.

Anyway, i'll try the 270/270, and if i dont like it, i'll try a 260/270, and if i still dont like it, i'll try 260/260...... by thay time, someone will have a chance to purches a hardly used set of solid cams......
