Ok Zilvia. Hi there

I'm currently building my Sr20det RWD Set up and have the opportunity to get a set of C1 Cams for about 100 less than retail.

The plan is to have a GT2871R 0.64AR type turbo with appropriate fuel/intake/Exhaust/ECU mods etc for a Daily Driver with a few weekend Solo events.

I know the S3 keeps the Stock Valve Springs and works best with my turbo choice for good mid range power (Where I want it for daily)..

Given that I can get the C1 Cams a bit cheaper than retail should I buy it at a "good" deal and then Springs/Retainers or just stick with the S3 Cam.

I know the C1 will cost more overall but a deal is a deal I'm thinking..

Is it worth it to save $100 on a C1 combo or should I just stick with buying the S3?

S3 seems to work best with 2871r setups, unless you've got cam gears to maybe 'fine tune' around it.

I know I was a big fan of their specs at first, but after some testing it seems as the C1 are a bit to much for the 2871r to really use them to advantage (lets just say it's an issue of cams not 'working' with the small turbine/large compresosr turbo).

You'd be best keeping the S3 cams and going from there.
