Might be irrelevant information to the clairvoyants among us, but engine, turbo & supporting mods might be helpful information to those without the "gift"....

and whats wrong with the gsr cams for your turbo set up?? me personally i stick with stock cams for turbo set ups...99% of the time cams for turbo's are a waste of time and money...cam gears are nice to have if you choose to buy them

exactly, theres nothing wrong with stock gsr cams, people have made 500 whp with them. but a bit more info on the setup and goals would make this easier.

id be happy with 350+whp thats a fast street car to me...but youre right though if youre competing professionally then yes go all out but from a practical point of view its uneccessary to push so much power...cheers

so i contacted them and i guess it is safe...they said its fine as long as you have aftermarket springs and retainers? Weird, i thought there was always a certain requirement..specially since the mazworx cams are supposed to be a bit more aggressive...
