If the rest of the engine is stock, you might be better off starting by getting a head done.

Whats the rest of the engine spec ?
As Mike says above, better results will be had with a modified head, especially with the hotter cam, though the 272 could just about be used with a standard-ish engine, though results will be better with other mods.
In an 1800 engine the 272 will pull better from lower in the rpm range and show positive improvements from around 3,500 with a peak at about 5,500. The 285 type cam will move that power band up by around 500rpm.
What particular cams were you looking at ?
A:
the car has a full scorpion exhaust k&n panel filter drilled air box the cam i got of a mate it is a ESTAS they are a company from turkey i dont have any more info on the cam i have emailed estas for te cam settings they have not got back yet so any advice is welcome

Which cam is it, ant numbers stamped on the end ?
Had a look at the Estas site yesterday, they look very much like Schrick profile numbers.
A:
the only numbers stamped on the end are 272 then it has bp285hy and estas stamped in bettwen the lobes
A:
All 1800 hydraulic cam blanks from Estas have 272 stamped on the end , so your cam could be anything.
A:
Then again it could be a Piper cam with bp285hy.
A:
Sounds like it. If so, it should work ok as a fast road type profile, maybe with a litte loss of power very low in the rpm range (below 2,500-ish).
A:
If it is a Piper it will be 276 degree .450" lift
