Which is the Schrick Cam best suited with a 2.7 conversion.

288 personally, especially if you have raised the compression. But, keeping the low down torque, split 274/288 would be better.

Sorry couple of more questions. Do the Valve Springs need to be changed or can stock ones be used. Also, is it a straight swap for the 885 cam.

stock 885 (325i) springs will be fine for both cams, id probably look at buying some new replacement ones if your old ones have seen 300,000km or something though. Yes, straight swap in.
