I am using BC stage 2 turbo cams, I like the power band and think it was worth buying them.

Don't use them with anything less then a gt35r. I have them on my car with a 3076r and too much back pressure and overlab. a gt35r, sc6262, sc6265, etc n those cams will make great power. Looking forward to my retune next year with a bigger turbo.

More info on these webcams? I've heard of them, just seems like all the 700+whp guys are using them.

On a turbo/street setup, get an AEM fuel rail, that's where the power is made!

But seriously.. (IMO), you don't need cams on a turbo/street setup unless your 650+ it just seems like a colossal waste of time, money, and effort. I'm no cam expert but I'm willing to bet that VTEC is already aggressive for an FI application; and that's probably one of the major reasons VTEC motors make great HP/L on FI as compared to other motors with the same displacement.

bahhh! <back to bed>

if ya want power, go with pro1s. or something similar.

the question is, what are your power goals?

you won't have idle issues with the pro1s. and you should get a hefty hp gain.

but like i said, depends on your hp goals. how efficient is your setup?
backdoor intercooler? charge pipe sizing? looks like the rest of your **** is up to par (besides not having a ported head) so cams should open it up quite a bit.

There are a lot of fast cars with aftermarket cams. If you don't have the right cam for the application and it doesn't work well then it's not the cams fault.
