Could do GSR cams if you need some on the low.

qft.
and the 750's may be working a little hard also.

i made 540 with a first time tuner, a t3t67ho, 84mm b16 and gsr cams.

IF you're using 500whp with Skunk2 Pro 1s, just don't worry about the GT3076R at all, you need at least 61mm or better to do that (at least on about 93 octane or so. I see no reason why you can't go with the Injector Dynamics (ID 1000s) for that level.

You never want to run a turbocharger at its max. I've seen them about 480-530whp (depending upon how the dyno is "read"), but that was really pushed and not a recommended pressure.

What's your budget for a turbocharger? what's the intended purpose with the car?

depending on yours cars weight you get 11's and high 10's if you can make over 280 wheel torque. mind you that your tire size and tranny choice and how good of a drive your are, is whats going to be the most beneficial.

as for cam choices get ITR/CTR or skunk2 TUNER series cams, you dont really need pro series yet.

I agree here on the CTR/ITR cams for your power level. You stated that you seen some for sale (B16B CTR's), if they are in good condition, you my wanna look into them.

I don't mean to thread jack but does anyone have experience with the Brian Crower Stage 2 Boost cams? I've heard a few good things about them but don't know anyone running them in a Honda. Please don't tell me they suck based on "this guy i know" either.

dont buy extra stuff if you dont need it, why do you want to rev to 9.5k? any you still making any power that high with your set-up? these are things you gotta think about because your going to give up other areas of your powerband.

because i thought id be in the power band longer if i was revving high plus when i change gear i dont want to drop out the power band and wait for the turbo to kick back in again if i was revving just over 8k, i want them for reliability as well as its a daily driver

use your current set-up and see how it behaves, if you are still making power then upgrade the valve system.
