Default trying to decide on which cams to run

Ok I'm down to just ordering cams for my build and can't seem to make a decision on a set.

First set: skunk2 pro1 cams

Second set: GSC T1 cams

Build is a sleeved ls/vtec with 10:1 compression with a twin scroll manifold and a 67mm turbo with a divided t4 1.10ar exhaust housing.

Hp goal is 750-800whp but looking for a cam that will help with spool, make good midrange power and be able to carry it to 9,500 rpms. Also still be streetable..

Thanks for any input.

I'm in the same boat , T1s r on back order till July and I can't find a set anywhere. Good luck if u decide on them. I may end up getting pro1s even tho I sold my pro1s to try another set. Another option would b kelford 176-t.

Even though places say they have stuff x amount available on their eBay, doesn't mean they have them. Most of those people just buy from someone else after you pay and then ship to you so they have no over head.

Sucks but yes T1's are out of stock.

I bought the last 2 sets for the shop that GSC had on the shelf.

I am thinking of trying GSC for my next tuning session, but I haven't seen a lot on them as much as with the skunk 2, I currently have Crower and can't wait to take them out, seems the car was choking closer to 700hp so all I left the dyno with 662hp. I went trying to get 800hp.

now hearing about these GSC T1 Cams, but what about the T1 Turbo web cams? I see that it is still offered on the T1 website.

The GSC T1 cams have no affiliation with T1. It's turbo stage 1.
