i have a semi built motor it has golden eagle hd sleeves and 84mm cp 9.1cr pistions with eagle h beam rods. the head is fully ported and has a victor x manifold. Im running a gt35r with a 1.06 turbine housing. right now i have 2000 spec/ctr camshafts. ive heard some people claiming huge gains on using aftermarket turbo cams. whats the best on the market that youd recommend for the biggest hp gains? I have upgraded springs and retainers so i dont mind reving it upstairs to get the power

just stick with what you have now, get the car running, and change stuff down the road, after you get bored with it.

The sweed

I would look in to skunk 2 tuner series stage 2

Quickridez_3

yeah i hear you on that im getting a lil bored of it now. some people were telling me that you can gain over 100whp on cams on a turboed honda motor is that true?

Quickridez_3

how much power gain over ctr cams, Isnt it true that stage 2 skunks are like oem itrs

even skunk2 stage1 are more agressive than itr/ctr cams

almostboostedgsr

Id go with either Itr's or the skunk2 pro series stage 2.

Desir Performance

I would try the skunk2 pro 1,2's or the skunk2 tuners cams. Tony 1 did a dyno graph post about the gains using the pro 1's over the itr's. Tony's setup was different from yours but you should see some gains.

Top Ramen

You left out most of the information needed to determine how much of an increase you would see.

- current whp?
- boost level?
- turbo manifold type?

once again false information by you...... this cam was tested in a high hp setup and lost peak power over ITR but gained midrange power

downeyballz

top ramen is corect the manifold and flow of exhaust and head will be the biggest factor. if you have very little back pressure then a big cam will make huge gains. but if you running a log maifold and restrictive exhaust you will definatly loose power with a big cam. ive seen it hapen a few times. if i were you it would just stick with the cams you have

Tuner cams are AWESOME cams and they happen to be easier on your valvetrain. Evans loves these cams for street use and has done several back to back tests. ♠

i dont want to say who but a very reputable tuner on another thread said that GT35r + applications would benefit from s2s2 or s2 pro1. while anything smaller will benefit from s2s1.

Obviously NOT....I never said Tuners are better and the OP never asked if they were. Evans has seen tremendous power gains using Tuner stage cams. Matter of fact if you ask him what cam to choose for street use he will guaranteed tell you TUner 1's or 2's. The cam make awesome power and is a lot easier on your valve train. Unless he's building a sfwd car he doesn't need pro 1's.

boosted hybrid

The tuner 1 cams are the best overall street cam. They are little larger than the CTR/ITR cams, make 20-30whp more power at high boost levels and have stock idle/drivability.

I am not that impressed with the stage 2's. They do make good power, but they are hard on the valve train. The pro 1s are much easier on the valvetrain, as they have the Amax technology built into them. Taken right from skunk2's site "the use of Fast Ramp and Amax Technologies actually makes Pro-Series camshafts more stable and less prone to spring surge at high rpms." You'll get the best midrange gains/overall power with the Pro 1's. I have seen 300-400 rpms spool/midrange increase with them. The idle and drivability will suck if you dont have them degreed correctly. They need 4 degrees cam seperation, which for some reason i rarely see after people have "degreed" them into their engines.

I am sure there are other cams out there that will work as good, or better than the skunk2's. I have personally been using/selling the skunk2 stuff for awhile and have had nothing but good luck with them. I tend to stick with reliable/proven stuff in my builds as well as customers.

.CUBISH.

ive had excellent results with pro1's and mazworx cams.. both picked up about 65-70hp over stock gsr cams on my motor.... this was an 81mm 10 to 1 lsvtec... ram horn manifold with a t3 60-1

i was making 404hp on 16psi pump gas... changed nothing but the cams and went up to 470hp

will pro 1 cams work with a stock red-line. im using stock valvetrain and so i need to keep the stock redline. ill probly just stick with stock gsr cams because of it, but if theres a better cam that will work im intrested

Its not about the redline its about the lift the cams have. Its pointless to use them reving to stock redline.
