You can go with JG or Crower as said above, but I'd concentrate on other modifications/reinforcement/management first before going to cams. You can reach 400whp without crazy cams. I was near there with wimpy Crower 402T ones.

Yes they are good, but based on experience and other experiences here on HT, their 403 and 404 NON-turbo cams are making more power with turbo applications than their 402T's.

I would personally choose crower 403/404's if I had to pick for boost. Its really up to you and your goals.

Why use NA cams for a turbo setup? You do realize that the cam overlap is bad for a turbo setup, do you not? You will not get the full power that you want just because the cam duration is too long.

Yeah true, but people say they can tune the overlap out. And all the people that do use the 403's with their turbo set ups always seem to make more power. I guess its just all tuning.

I personally would go with 403's. I guess its the same with a Vtec more because of the vtec, you have to tune the overlap out.

This is true. But based on experiences (mine, and here on HT), people are actually making lots of power with Crower's N/A cams (403's and 404's). Some of the members using 403's aren't even tuned and just dropped it in. They made more power than 402T's.

I thought it was weird as well, but now many people are using those cams for turbo applications.
