what cams for this setup?

I have a 2g eclipse with a stock 2g head. This week I am doing head studs & head gasket, & i am also getting 660cc injectors... i was wondering what cams would be best with my setup? keep in mind i have a stock bottom end & im automatic, shifting at 7grand... if anyone has any suggestions i would appreciate it. thanks! heres my general setup...

Relax dude alot of is have something that is called a job.
Anyway I would go with comp cams stage 2 or 264/272 combination with that turbo. We have had good results with the Comp cams.

I would say a 264/264 HKS set up would work if you are not going to rev it any
higher. www.automotosports.com did cam a cam comparison a while back.
They have dyno charts up on their site. Might be of some help to you.

272/272, u think thats to bigi was told to go that big but i decided to go smaller?

 

[CYCLONE]

With my setup 264/272 my max torque is at 5000rpm (463), and max hp is at
about 7200rpm. Basically the bigger the cams the narower and higher the power
band will be. I would do 264/264 or 264/272 if you don't plan on shifting higher than
7000 rpm.

I would reccomend the Comp cams, either the stage 1's or the stage 2's depending on how much more top end you want, If you are keeping the redline at 7K I would go with the 1's, if you plan on raising it a little go with the 2's.

Stay away from the HKS's cams, the more recent (newly manufactured ones) seem to be much further off valve timing wise than the older ones. But if you have adjustable cam gears and the tools and know how to degree them in, you could go with the HKS cams, but I think the HKS cams are getting a little too old school these days. So you might as well take advantage of camshaft technology improvements in the last 15 years, and go with the Crower, Crane, Comp, or Reed cams, They are all at least 10 years newer than the HKS stuff.

Think of it this way. If you were looking for a new turbo would you be considering a Mitsubishi heavy industries small 16g or a mutt/Frank.

Call me old school but I like to work with stuff that's been around and proven.
HKS has been doing import parts for ever, Comp Cams just got into imports recently.
I don't think comp cams were even available 2 years ago when I got my HKS cams.

I have not personally used the FP cams, nor have I had the opportunity to degree a set in for someone. I have also not seen the cam specifications for the FP cams. I have degreed in many cams on DSM's, and have collected allot of data on them concerning valve position, lobe centerlines, opening and closing times, in relationship to piston position, and rod angle etc.

However without any first hand knowledge on the FP cams, I can not offer a opinion one way or the other.

I just put the fp2s in and here is some info pulled directly off ot the comp spec sheet.

Intake

Gross valve lift : .411
cam lobe lift: .239
adv. dur. @ .004 valve lift: 259
Valve timing @ .050: 3
BTD: 29 ABD
center line: 102.0
duration @ .050: 212

Exhaust

Gross valve lift : .395
cam lobe lift: .232
adv. dur. @ .004 valve lift: 258
Valve timing @ .050: 46
BBD: 14- ATD
center line: 120.0
duration @ .050: 212

definitely HKS 272/272
THey've been proven many times. Your dsm link will help you tune out all the little issues with big cams for daily drivability. Why spend $600 and go 264/264- I would rather stay 1g cams. HKS 272/272 are awesome- great top end and you can fix your power band by advancing the intake side cam gear and playing with the exhaust side on a dyno.
