Tomei poncams. $325 all day err day no springs or ecu tuning needed

I am literally drooling over a set of S3 JWT cams. The duration is perfect- the overlap is perfect- and the lift is perfect. That is, the lift is nearly oem, so you can use oem springs... which is perfect for a daily driver that spends its time under 7,000rpm most of the time and just needs that duration to help with Volumetric efficiency around 5k-6k where the oem cams tend to restrict power.

JWT cams are the bomb! I haven't heard one bad thing about them, ever. I have heard good things about the Tomei Poncams too.

JWT S4's or go home. Run em on a stock head all day.

oni jake · 10-14-2012, 11:22 PM

Tomei Pon Cams and HKS Step 1 Cams are the EXACT same thing. Both are really really really awesome in combination with the GT2871r. These two should realistically be your only option if you want quick, easy, and reliable power.

*TheRealSy90* · 10-14-2012, 11:47 PM

OOORRRRRR JWT's.

oni jake · 10-15-2012, 12:12 AM

OOOORRRRRRRRRR.... Pon Cams.

*TheRealSy90* · 10-15-2012, 01:26 AM

NO NO JWT's

Best bang for buck for reliability and ease of tuning and set-up is poncams. All mentioned are good choices but BC cams. They're not bad but have to time them in. I'd honestly go with the poncams if I were in your shoes. You will not be disappointed.

poncams are great but they also sound stock! I run OEM exhaust; I want a long duration camshaft that makes everyone double take; "is it misfiring? why does it sound like that?"

If you ever get a chance, listen to an OEM 1969 Z28 Camaro through OEM exhaust. the camshaft is radical, but the exhaust is OEM, quite a combination.

oni jake · 10-19-2012, 03:22 PM

Okay, serious question. Who spends money on camshafts for the exhaust pitch note?

^ exactly. But if you really want to get technical. For performance wise easiest and cheapest way to upgrade cams in sr is to get sr20de cams.

Tomei poncams cost $325

JWT S3 cams cost $500+

Based on information and dyno's ive seen, S3's are better cams all around... I'm not saying that to take anything away from Tomei, but you'll see better results with JWT cams.

*TheRealSy90* · 10-19-2012, 07:55 PM

I got my S4's for 300 bucks.

JWT is best.
