Blaue sport cam

[Aaron Sherrick]

How much difference do you think stiffer valve springs make?

<As long as the [272 blau cam] job is done correctly, you will be good
for around extra 20 hp.>

To think you will gain 20 horsepower is blasphemy.  We're not doing a
turbo conversion here...it's just a basic 272 cam in a 2.3L.  I would
say you may gain ten horsepower if you are lucky.  Blau should be sewed
for the misleading information posted on their website.  I put a 270
degree cam in my 2.3L 4KQ and felt a gain, but not nearly 20 hp.  I
would definately recommend throwing the camshaft in though.  I also
added stiffer valve springs from Techtonics Tuning and new lifters from
Rod @ TPC (recommended).  It is a great upgrade for a good 8hp.  Good
luck with the swap!
