288/280 vs 280/272 cams.

[x Spades x]

Pretty sure I'm over a decade with my 280/272s at this point. Would do again, if I didn't have them.

Edit:
Just looked it up. Have had them installed for 12 years. Man, time is going fast.

Im 13 years and 102k miles on 288/280 Schrick cams. At this point its hard to even say, lol

Jeez, I've been so sluggish on pulling the trigger then all of a sudden cams/followers skyrocketed. I remember when the cost was in the conversation of: "CSL or cams?". Now it's "I remember when cams were a nice to have" 😭

If it makes you feel any better, my friend's stock cam/engine E46 M3 with SS headers and exhaust and CSL airbox did 365 whp at EAS which is more than some cammed cars have put down. Cams at the current price are a complete waste unless your current rocker arms/cams are fucked and you have to to the job anyways.

This....is a good take and perspective! I guess cams aren't a silver bullet, does it enhance anything from a visceral standpoint or noise?
