Default Best camshafts for turbo application

What would be the best camshafts to put in my GSR with a turbo?

stock GSR or type R depending on your setup Type R could be beneficial. But morelikely just stay stock GSR

Yeah, well I was putting my stock gsr camshafts back in but I was also thinking about upgrading later to skunk2 turbo cams or something.

From what BoostFed said Skunk2 Turbo camshafts are less "aggressive" than B16a camshafts, heh.

His exact words.

"Man I got the specs directly form Skunk when they first came out. These cams are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO mild, they have less lift and duration than a stock B16A Si cam, they are based off an old B16A Automatic cam, low lift and short duration, the rep told me for my set up they would not work, he said for a street car running up to approx 15psi and only to 8k rpms. He said power would fall off after 8k or so and anything over 15psi this was not the cam for you. That was my conversation with Skunk2 at least. After getting the specs, I would rather have 2nd Gen B16A cams, GSR or ITR cams anyday. My opinion and advice."

GSR cams are very good until you can afford BALLERstyle cams
