I have a S13 SR and am putting in Greddy stage 2 cams 264/11.5 intake and 272/11.5 exhaust with all the supporting valvetrain upgrades. Now from what Ive seen on SR staggered cam setups people normally run the longer duration cam on the exhaust side but I was reading KA-T.org and they run the longer duration cam on the intake side. What is the benefit of each? Im looking for good broad mid-range power. Thanks for any info.

On NA motors people make the intake cam bigger to "pack" more air in. In a turbo motor, your turbo does that job. Therefore people generally put the larger cam on the ex. side to help exhaust flow to spool the turbo faster.
