Camshaft question.....
Sup Guys, I got a 98 Spec R and Im going to boost it here within the next couple weeks and I was wondering if they was a cam out there that's awesome for power in a turbo setup or just leave the stock ITR cams in there as everyone is telling me. Info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

If you're dying to change cams for boost, throw in a set of GSR cams. They've been shown to work well with turbos and superchargers.

Soo, if I were going with a turbo setup on a gsr, I should stick w/ my stock cams? what about being able to run the engine @ higher rpms? I under stand that w/ proper cams, redline can be moved up to and beyond 10 grand--safely.
someone please tell me what I'm talking about

to all those damn z28's

Are you talking about Redline beyond 10 grand--safely under boost??? or are u talking about N/A becuase i doupt that ur going to take a boosted engine up to 10,000 RPM and it be safe in any car... built or not... i mean i know its been done but its going to cost a lot of money and i hope u have a lot of money if u plan on doing that to a even semi built B18 or B18C5

As long as you upgrade the springs and retainers for a higher redline, you can go there. There is no point to go that high unless you make power there with your setup. Keep the rev limit and stock cams if you decide to boost.

N/A is best IMHO

And over 10k is pretty much useless for a majority of the cams for these cars, likely all the "standard" aftermarket cams.
I think he wants 10k or higher just to brag, doesn't matter if it's slower.
