Title pretty much says it all. What cams do you guys recommend?
Normally I wouldn't even post this. I googled and searched though, not too much found for current day options...
The HKS cams no longer exist (basically), which is what i probably would have went with. I see DELTA as an option, but I've always viewed regrind as nono...
Kelfords seem like the best option, currently. But I see mixed reviews. Early to mid 2000's people were talking mad crap on their quality. Now it seems like they got it together... I know the Nissan guys use their big cams a lot for BIG power...
I'm looking for a powerful midrange, mostly. Car is mostly street driven. I'm in the middle of upgrading the car for the EVO III 16G and wanted some opinions as I wasn't finding the information I wanted / needed via searching. Want something VERY WELL mannered for the street. Not looking for a camshaft with a high powerband. But I def would want to open up the top end a little more and def need something for more hp than the stockers...
I guess worth noting... Planned work for the build..
Extrude hone stock 2g intake manifold
2G (52mm) to 1G (60mm) throttle body upgrade
Small port & polish on the head (intake & exhaust)
Adjustable cam gears
Supertech +0.5mm intake valves
Supertech +0.5mm exhaust valves
new valve guides
new valve seals
Planned target of 375whp+. Would really like over 400, but sounds like that's quite the chore on TD05H 20G..
