I absolutly 100 percent think cam gears are a waste of time on SR20. I've never seen any positive gains from them anywhere.

Oh god I agree. I ove when people tout how well their MBC works, and that EBC are junk....until they ride in an EBC car. It's a requirement IMO for a turbo car.

But you gotta admit, there is a certain point (300hp I'd say) where you are really fighting aginst yourself using stock crap. You're not utilizing their flow ability, and essentially choking the motor. Again, even running a 260 duration cam on a stock t25, regardless of how restrictive) still puts it nearly 3-5 mph faster trap speed wise...that's a significant gain.

For sure. Cams themselves are a lost art if you ask me in the import world, and it's a shame so many have disregarded their importance with our stuff.
I'll stick to my guns forever with my 'guide'
JWT S3 or Tomei 260 for T2 flanged turbos
JWT S4 or HKS 264 (SII) for T3 flanged turbos
JWT C1 or HKS 272 (sII) for T4 flanged turbos.
Nothing boggles me more than guys that throw 272 in a little turbo car (DSM guys come to mind) and wonder why the powerband sucks...well duh!

To a point, but many BIG cams on any motor sacrifice a ton of low end versus gains in the big end. Look at some of the TexasSpeed cams for LS1's for example...great peak, but less midrange than stock...go figure haha.
