tuner2s work great for boost. or you can get blox Bs for alittle cheaper and they are almost the same

If you don't mind spending a few bucks, check out Bisimoto's cams. Pretty damn good numbers for the price. I would go with a new cam...never a regrind

Delta cams 272/272. Call them up. Custom ground cams and great pricing, and stand up dudes!

i personally have only used Ferrea and from reading recent threads in the drag racing section it seems many of the really high HP guys do too. But it all depends on your budget

Delta told me they only had Skunk2 S2 profiles, nothing else. They were $300 for the pair with a core, however.

The most recent 9-sec Honda I've seen was an 81mm ITR cam setup running crome. The numbers for c16 are 757whp. Huge cams don't instantly equate to huge power.

I have a set of the skunk2 pro1 in my car and i ended up taking them out and going back to ITR cams. Cams made a clicking sound as i turn them. I dont know if they like my valve train or not but i set the cams to where they said from skunk2 website

I've heard that the Skunk2 Pro 1's are the way to go, I personally have type R's for now but I will probably go with the Pro 1's.

Type R or Skunk2 tuner 1 cams. 600hp is easily attainable on stock gsr cams. the cars not a track queen so keep it driveabl yet still reach your goals with oem quality is my 2 cents. i run ctr cams in my stroked b18c and love them. driveability and low end is there will high end rpm punch

Pro 1's with the Skunk2 Pro valve-train. They'll help make 600whp no problem.
