Default Upgrading my b16 turbo. What cams etc?

I post here because I think the best knolagement hanging out here.

I have built b16 84,5 mm and stock stroke

Full race ram horn mani
Golden eagle intake mani
GT35R 1,06 ar right now but have a .82 also
ITR cams
Ferrea valvs springs and reteiners
Light port and polish.
ITR LMD
Endyne pistons and crower rods
Bored throttlebody tappered and 64mm butterfly
2,5 inch intercooler piping
4" downpipe and exhaust
8,8:1 messured compression
Red line 10k-10,5k
Peak and hold driver
vtec point set at 4500rpm
DTA P8 PRO stand alone engine management with coil on plug.
Tilton twin disc
SX performance big as pump

I wouldn´t say it is a daily driver but as close as you can get I guess.. I´m not using it for dayly shoping etc but it is a street car and I will do some low boost circuit racing and wekend dragraces on high boost and some fun on the streets. To try to pass emisions test I could forget about long time ago..


We dynoed the engine on an engine dyno to 587hp at 30psi on race gas. We did not play around with the camgears and I think the small WG spring started to open due to exhaust pressure.. The turbo would not boost any more. I will retune on a dynapack next winter with a bigger spring but thinking of doing some upgrades first and would like some recomendations and opinions.

* I want to get some 1600cc injectors and tune on E85.. I have look at some precision 1600´s but it is not as nice as the msd 1000cc I have with 6 hols. The precision was a ball type.. What brand would be a good choice?

* Would I benefit to machine the head to bump the compression to like 9,5:1 ?

* A bigger throttlebody maybe.. but sence my chargepipes are 63mm I thought I might not benefit from a 70mm TB ??.

* The turbo on the wg spring reaches full boost at around 6500rpm and I would like it a bit sooner.. E85 and a .82 ar housing will help but I was looking to skunk 2 pro 1´s couse of the larger primarie lobes. I have also looked at the tuner stage 1s. Will any of these cams support the revs on this b16? Any other turbo cam recomendetions/opinions..??
