![]() ![]() There has always been internet conversation on the benefits or not of using higher lift camshafts on Supras with the factory twin turbos. The trade off with 272's is you lose power on the low-end, in some cases up to 80rwhp, until you get to the higher rpms.įor smaller single turbo Supras and those that want to build power sooner in the power band the we suggest going with a combination of 264 degree intake and 264 degree exhaust camshafts. As you can see if you are looking for maximum HP at higher rpm's, then the 272 degree cams are the units for you with almost 20rwhp more power than either HKS 256 or 264 degree cams. This is the type of data that has been missing for a long time to Supra enthusiasts. ![]() If you take a look at the incredible R&D work that HKS Japan did on a HKS T04R single turbo equipped Supra (see below accessory), you will notice a comparison of various HKS camshafts. Drivability if installed properly is excellent, with only a slight idle change. These cams are a MUST for large single and twin turbo cars. My Supra equipped with the T78 Single Turbo Kit gained almost 50 peak RWHP with just a change to HKS 272 cams. If I were building an engine today, I would buy another camshaft manufacturer and not HKS.Ĭontrary to what some say, you can get a 272 degree cam to idle near perfectly at 1000 rpm. Please note that while HKS products are high quality, there are cams that have much better power curves and make more power and for less money.
