Re: cams to use
Right, stock bottom end so you're trying not to make too much power. But then you want cams to make more power. My point is that a little more boost could give you more power than cams will, and it's free (you already have a turbo setup).

I'd stick with the stock cams; usually cams that give really good naturally aspirated power (like the ITR cams) are not what you want for turbo use. The stock GSR cam profile is closer to ideal with a turbo than ITR cams are. Put the money you want to spend on cams into something nice for the turbo setup..

Im running PRO 2's on my setup... Cam selection comes with what your building for... huge turbo on huge boost... go with all motor cams... keeping it small, go with stock or some turbo cams...

Re: cams to use
CTR/TYPE R cams on your setup will pick up a considerate amount of power, especially in the mid range (where you want more power).
Someone above made the statement to stay away from "all motor" type cams...I strongly disagree. Of course you don't want to overcam your motor, and yes of course stock GSR cams make power (its a turbo, anything will make power), but you WILL notice a difference with an R cam.
