Turbo cams, who has them and what results did you see?
I was looking at the Crower turbo cams and I was hoping someone had some experience with them. Does anyone have dyno sheets comparing stock cams to crowers? How is the idle with turbo cams? It shouldnt be too bad especially with vtec cams because they shouldn't have much overlap, right?
BTW I was looking specifically for info on H22's but any info at all is appreciated.

I would keep your stock cams, you can make the power that you want with them. Just get adjustable cam gears, dial out the overlap. Cheaper, and has been proven time and time again.

I have crower turbo cams, wasted $550. On the dyno the turbo cams max torque was at 5700 rpm instead of stock all motor 6700 rpm. Wasted money on building up the head. Never had the stock cams with the turbo.

I have JG Turbo Cams in my Turbocharged GSR Engine. The difference ( from Stock GSR Cams ) is that there is a smoother transition into VTEC and no jerking sensation. They make smooth power throughout power curve. This is just from the seat of my pants dyno. Hope this helps.

I'd like to actual DYNO graphs. Anybody got them? Has anyone seen DYNO graphs of the roller cams from Crane?

I've got "turbo" cam in my LS engine and couldn't be happier with them. The stock LS profile tends to die off power-wise about 6500 or so, even with the turbo. The torque curve just doesn't hold up. However with my turbo cams, it absolutely screams all the way to 8000 rpm.
I know most b-series VTEC engines have really good performance off the GS-R cams.As far as H-series goes, maybe the "type-S" cams would give you a small boost in power. I know very little about H/F blocks tho.

It looks like I will be sticking with my stock cams then.
To the guy with the LS - your ls motor boesnt have a high HP peak to begin with, maybe this is why it fell off early with turbo.

I just got Skunk2 Turbo cams. I'm not sure if I will put them in yet or not. I am waiting for some good evidence that they will make good numbers over stock ITR cams.
