agreed^^

Most people would say not to use pro1s unless your running a gt35r or bigger. I you use the pro1s anyway you MUST get them dialed in otherwise you could lose hp over ITR/tuner1s

I have a set of Skunk2 pro 1's that im putting in this weekend to replace my CTR's once i get back from getting it retuned ill let you know what the out come is. I have read acouple different threads on them and everybody has said nothing but good things about them and how they make really good HP but def need to up-grade the valve springs.

for a 30R stick with the tuner 1's

and yes i would upgrade to at least supertech.

my guess is your going to be in the 400-500hp range. The pro1's will shine after 500 intake manifold and a good turbo manifold is a must according to Jeff Evans, I'll take his word for it because he did the testing.

Has anyone seen any Dyno's with the Tuner 1 cams. I am thinking of the Tuner or the Pro 1+. I have a B16 fully built with CTR now, SC60 Turbo, Neukin manifold and 3" downpipe, 750cc but I am only making 402hp @ 19psi. I want more HP maybe closer to 500hp is all I want. Here is my Dyno Sheet:

I've got a set of tuner1s i'm about to install on a gt30r setup. Don't hold your breath on dyno results. I've been saying I was going to install them for ages now. It will probably happen in the next month. I'll definantly have to retune on dyno though since the big lobes are different.

Dont feel bad sp00led I have been looking at my set of pro 1's for the last 3 weeks and still havent put them in. But I also have been waiting for a time to open to take the car and get tuned right after i get them in the motor.

skunk2 pro 1's FTW evans did a test comparing them to the ctr. Made some pretty nice numbers

With a 30r the tuner1's prob fit your setup the best.

So Should I stay with the CTR's? I also heard that even the tuner 1 cams wear down the valve train.

If you're not going to upgrade the springs, then stick with the ctr's. Nothing worse then screwing things up by an over rev. ctr's are good cams, tuners are better, pro'1's best out of the 3. Either of the sk2's require spring/retainer upgrade.
