Yes I think that type r cams are great with turbo, they seem to work real well with my set up.

No they suck, sell them to me... haha j/k. The type r cams work very well, you may also look into getting a set of adjustable cam gears to dial in overlap.


Jeff Evans has tuned many setups with Type R cams and gears and made great power:

does anyone know if there's a dyno chart showing the comparison between the itr's and gsr's? Just curious to see the difference

We have been working on a set of Turbo camshafts for a bit of time now and are hopefully finishing up final R&D on them shortly. We have been running them in our Turbo 4 // SFWD car for the last couple of races with pretty good success.

The specs on them are
Intake
Duration at 1mm - 230
Lift at 0" lash: 0.385" (9.779mm)

Exhaust
Duration at 1mm - 225
Lift at 0": 0.350" (8.89mm)

They seem to be working great with a broad power band.

Hopefully we will have these on the market within the next 2 weeks. Please contact for more information or questions

James, will you be doing any dyno comparisons with the ITR/CTR cams? Can't wait to see what your cams can do.... as i've seen them on evolution 8's and they beat out HKS cams
