What Camshafts do you guy's use?
I'm trying to save up some money for cam's for my ls/vtec for boost. I've alwayse felt that they are too expensive but now I'm feeling like if I have the money and it is the "only" thing that I haven't done that I mise well. So I was wondering what you guy's are running for camshaft combinations on your boosted setup's. I'm working up to obtaining the 20+psi mark and looking for lots of power, but also lives a life on the street as well. So with the price not being toooo much of a determining factor.. I'd like to know what's tried and proven for you guys..? I would assume this is the right thread in the FI but if not sorry about that. Thanks guy's

Anything is possible, dont expect it to last 10 passes down the strip or anything.....
for another freakish B16
How is it possible??? I am guessing 1000cc Injectors and 30+psi, correct?

i have been having good luck with my gsr's, made 520 at 27 psi with relatively low timming.
switching to CTR's when i build my gsr.

Re: (D-tuned)
Following on this line of thought - ie get better cams for more power,
Do you need to change the springs and retainers when going to these aftermarket cams and I would assume you would with the type R ones.
So the cost starts getting up there
Would it be better to go down the headwork line and get bigger valves and a bit of head work instead of doing the cams?
Which would give you better results... or is it better to do both at the same time matching the cams to the headwork? (i know this means more money but still interested)

I'm currently running the JG Engine Dynamic valvetrain ie. Dual Springs and Titanium Retainers in my head and wasn't sure if I'd have to RE-buy the valve train for what ever cams I buy from that company? Because if so... that'd suck to repay again...!

So Blox B's make more power that ITR? Is there any dyno sheets out there to show where power was gained and lost?

Quoting stuff you read about overlap? For a mild setup just use ITR/CTR
