Depends upon your power needs. You don't really need them until you're going over 400whp.

No one on honda-tech uses a turbo cam. Just all motor cams. More air in more air out.

usually turbo cams are made for cars that low V.E. and came turbo from the factory. thats not the case with our hondas. thats most just stick to N/A cams
