Hey guys. I may have someone building a nice head for my CA :D We are going the solid lifters road. The car is going to be used as a grip trackday toy, no drag racing for me.
Problem is, i cannot find anything available that is not a tomei procam. I heard a long time ago other options existed, but right now options are either 260/10.25 or 270/10.25 tomei procams. I also cannot find vernier pullers except ebay crap ... some people claim to have tomei pulleys, but since it is marked as discontinued and not available on most major sellers, i find it hard to believe. That and the 200$ price tag per pulley ...
Anyway, the builder already had 260/260, then he went 270/270 on his. He is shooting for maximum power and over 40psi of boost at 8500+rpm.
I am not aiming that high, and want (way) more midrange than he had. The turbo will surely be a gtx2867r, as it means no mod for my exhaust system and i could get one second hand from someone i know.
The cam cards are available on tomei USA website, they are pretty complete.
Mainly my questions are:
-From your experience, should i go 260/260 or 260/270 ?
-Are there available aftermarket pulleys that work and do not cost more than a camshaft ?
-Finally, from your experience again, would there be a point in using supertech coated, undercut, 1 piece valves instead of the stock ones ? The price tag for these hurt a bit ...
