Sr20 Build camshaft help

[gippy87]

Hellow everyone im in the process of building my s13 basically ive bought everything except clutch, injectors, and cams. I know what i want for clutch and injectors but i dont knwo what cams to get. im shooting for 400-500hp the mods I have if it helps

brian crower springs & retainers
minor port and polish
gt3076r
synapse top mount
cp pistons .20 overbore
theres obviously alot more to a 400hp build but i dont think it wil help decide what cams to use so the list stops there

I do plan on bringing the car to the track once in a while but its still going to see the streets often so i dont want a full race cam.

crower cams all the way
they are amazing, and because brian crower focuses primarily on the production of camshafts they provide a superior product at a far lower price than hks or many of the other leading companies

looks like someone selling hks step 2 264's on here for very cheap less then the price of one if i can get them i will if not i like the idea of the cheaper brian crower cams but if i have to i will pay for the hks name.

i would say 272 for the numbers your lookin for or the step 2 hks 264

[johngriff]

272's ruin spool, and have almost no effect on top end.

[sliEighty]

good point... 264 step 2 agreed 100%

[gippy87]

alright well seems like 264 are the way to go. Now to decide between hks or bc. I would save alot on bc cams but would this be a mistake gogin with the cheaper cams??? Also what is the difference between hks step 2 264's and hks step 3 264's?? On hks website it shows them as same lift and duration. Sorry i dont know my stuff when i comes to cams lol
