flywheel vs. turbo cams

i don't have much upgrades to go.... but which will give better gains?

flywheel takes off about 10lbs

im not to familiar with the different types of turbo cams.... crower..skunk2 that's all i see

 

the flywheel will make your car a lot snappier but it's not really worth it in my opion cause as fast as you get the revs up you lose them to. trust me on this one, i have a built crvtec and it makes it scream through the revs but is not really worth it cause in order to keep in the top half of the power banned when you are racing you have to shift the sucker fast, and i mean really fast. you miss a shift and the rpms will drop faster then fat people doing push ups. if you were going NA then i would say get it cause it's very hard to make a NA kick a simple turbo'd hondas ***. if you really have a turbo set up, get the cams, way better in my opion.

 

ppl are making plenty of power on stock cams...

id do a little more research into the need for turbo cams...

 

stock cams are plenty for ur setup...i wouldn't go with a lighten flywheel. search in FI about flywheels

 

I have both upgraded cams and a lighter flywheel on my turbo car and if I were given the choice, I would probably go with the flywheel mainly because it doesn't require any retuning afterwards like a new set of cams would. They are both good mods, but I recommend staying away from turbo cams, but look into some CTR/ITR instead.

 

I have ITR cams right now... so is a flywheel worth it? im looking at $200-300

what else is a good simple upgrade (i already have most of the bolt ons as possible)

suspension??? shocks/springs/rear sway bar or a short shifter

 

how much power are you putting down with that cr-vtec turbo set up?

done done and done......

 

I have stock GS-R cams and a stock "resurfaced" flywheel on my car. It put down 357 whp and 363 whp on 2 separate dynos. I don't think that you really need either of these upgrades. I'd either get something else like a 3 BAR map sensor to boost over 11 psi or if you really have your mind set on those 2, I'd get the cams and sell your GS-R cams.

 

so other than these two options, what else would you consider??

what are you doing for 357whp other than turning up boost?

 

I IMed you. Boost is only 11 psi because I haven't installed the 3 BAR map sensor because I'll have to retune it.
