Keep the CTRs for that power level (for too large of a turbo for 550whp, anyway). Leave that Brian Crower **** alone.. Let's move this over to the FI forum so you can get some REAL information

I am not sure why TheShodan doesn't like the Crower's or BC's... I have certainly have had success with them in the past. The biggest improvements I have ever seen in a 500 HP "B" series engine were 62 wheel HP using a set of Skunk2 Pro1+'s over the stock B16A cams. The bad news: My personal experience with Skunk2 Pro series camshafts with respect to longevity has been far less than ideal. Even if they made slightly less power, I would run BC's or Crowers.

No, get it correct, please. I love CROWER camshafts. It's the Brian Crower that is complete garbage from my expertise and experience. None of the BC's EVER..AND I MEAN NEVER perform as expected, use their directed specs (which are never as claimed) or anything else..

And I'm sorry, but have had nothing but good success with skunk camshaft since 2001.

Different strokes for different folks.

My apologies Shodan... I was not trying to put words in your mouth. I love the CROWER products as well and enjoy working with the designers/engineers over there to dream up special grinds for special applications. And to clarify, I have actually had good luck with the Skunk2 Tuner series products through the years... a pair of bad personal experiences with the PRO Series cams has caused the bad taste, and ultimately my fear in using them again.

I do find it interesting that experiences for seasoned individuals are so dramatically different.

Yep.. AND yet we find commonality in CROWER products.
