Well since I am keeping my 240sx N/A (i'ts a 1996) I would like a set of cams to go along with my header, intake, and exhaust. I know Gude has a set for the 91-96 240sx, Don at PDM Racing sells a set, and supposedly you can interchange the 91 240sx exhaust cam and the Altima intake cam with the ones currently in a 96 240sx to get more power because they have a better grind and duration...so my question is, which ones would be the easiest to install? Will any of them require new shims (which is of course more money) or other major work? Lastly, what type of shop should I take them to to get them installed because I am not brave enough to install them myself...

And also any info on cams for a Turbo KA would be much appreciated

All of them will be a pain to install. New shims should be required for all. Only Don is nice enough to let you know ahead of time. I would get either the cams Don and Colt Cams have developed or talk to JWT about getting a set. I know they have been working on a set for some time now. They will make custom applications for your turbo as well.
