Cams for a Non-Vtec Turbo setup?
I'm planning on upgrading with Hondata and partially or fully building my B18B. I'm wondering what you guys think I should do for the cams, considering i'm non-vtec. Should i stick with the LS cams, or upgrade to something different? my goals are something in the 300-350whp range.

Crane cams have been around for along long time. I know that the cams work great on v8's, but have no experience with their sport compact cams.
I mean... DAMN look at all that lift!!!!!

haha yes, i've seen the video; very impressive. but do you think it's unecessary/overkill for my more modest goals?

For your goals the stock cams are more then enough. Spend that extra money on some head porting so it can breathe better up top where they usually flatten out because of the stock port configuration. Stock cams will make over 400whp easily if you got the right parts.

Re: Cams for a Non-Vtec Turbo setup? (MIKES)
my horsepower peaks in the 6-7k range, due to my 54 trim T3/t04 and also the LS head. So some head porting would help my flow up top? i'm thinkin about adding some springs/retainers, and putting redline up to 7.5k, if it's making the power up there to be worth it.

How much power do you think you picked up with the crowers? They look kinda weaksauce on paper with only 190 duration @ .050, but there's a lot of lift there so I guess it would work good without sacrificing drivability.

You can talk to Rocket here on HT he is in the process of designing cams for D and B series motors.
