hey guys i am thinking of getting some cams but i need to do some homework on them and i also need to know if they mix with anykind of forced induction. i have a 98 acura integra rs

 

If you are going to boost in the future and are sure of it, wait until you're boosted and get cams that are suited to your boosted needs. NA cams generally have lots of valve overlap, which is not good for forced induction. Since you have an LS motor, check into Crower cams. They make turbo cams as well as great NA cams, and spring/retainer kits to go with them.

 

Im building an LSVTEC turbo, and I also have done some reasearch on cams. I think a lot of people just assume that a cam with a larger lift is better for forced ind., but I think that you want a longer durration. Im using a civic type R for intake and integ. type R for ex. (b18c1 head). Honda cams are good grinds anyways..I thought...I could be wrong

 

are you saying that something that has been proven(lift > duration) is wrong?

 

Well I was looking for specs on stock cams for my motor, and found out a lot of interesting things. In my search I found out that GSR cams have a Primary lift of 1.3154(INT) and an Integra Type R cam has a Primary lift of 1.3036(INT). A GSR cam has higher lifts on all 3 lobes. But the Type R cam has a longer degree of duration. And that gets better air flow. Now, im not a camshaft expert but I have talked to people who know cams, and this is along the lines of what they told me. I said I could be wrong and you say I am XSrcing. Are there any tests online that say so.....
Im not trying to be rude.....I am still learning

 

Forced induction cams use high lifts because you are flowing a lot more air than stock. Naturally aspirated cams have a large amount of duration to encourage exhaust scavenging.
