^ Dont listen to that guy

ITR cams work great and you will not have to upgrade your valvetrain

let's look at the chart. we have GSR and ITR specs along with all motor and turbo grinds

http://www.crower.com/cat/impo...shtml


a few things are obvious. turbo cams work better with more duration on the exhaust...no surprise there. you have more gas leaving than an NA build. the duration also seems to be mild which also makes sense. hanging the valve open forever with long duration doesn't build pressure. look at the chart, it's pretty self explanitory. lift seems to be another area the turbo cams have a good deal more of. yet another shocker LOL. fast high lift and short duration cams would be my bet.

i think short duration high lift cams are the way to go. those crower turbo cams cost similar to what you're thinking about. get something turbo specific. long duration cams like the skunks..well longer than the crower turbo anyway are going to bleed boost.
