It would make peak torque and hp lower in the band with 274 but will cost the average hp and torque numbers. The 274 will also bring the dynamic CR to almost 8.6 and it's getting pretty tuff to find a decent gas to burn without mixing race fuel. 8.4 Dynamic is about max for pump gas although I do push the limits with some tight quench and lots of prep.
