Consider they are the OEM item for a fairly well tuned OEM motor (R34 n1). Going to an enormous cam would be futile in a search for gains.

Consider again that they are well within the motors factory scope and a cost benefit analysis will begin to form.

Ultimately when wouldn't a ported head and the right cams be good? I say if your really serious about maxing out what you've got you should look harder at step 1 based cams and relax on the dreams of expensive port jobs. Be it myself I would run a set of gears as it seems the forum has proved they are a bang for buck performer.

step 1 cam size can be seen as 25x or milder 26x variants.. GL

Sell cams, buy cam gears and save the difference. Or if the cash is burning a hole in your pocket post details of your setup and we'll suggest something much more useful to spend it on.

well what i have got a the moment is the cams ported head 550cc injectors new r33 cranck stock rods, n1 piston 1mm o/s. cam gears n1 oil pump -7 turbos .arp bolts .. this engine was a stillway built engine but when i pulled it done every thing was stuffed and it was running a t88 turbo.. any ideas on what would be a good combo for these -7 turbos ...and would any one want to buy these greddy 272 degrees cams???

Dyno, I've also driven both cars on the street afterwards.

Both got to within 4rwkw of each other at 8000rpm (both around 305rwkw), the one with tomei cams is all over the OEM cam'd one until about 5500/6000rpm (from memory, may be slightly less, i dont have the dyno sheet here) where they are then dead even until redline.

very interesting.. finally someone with real results for poncam b on GTR, I've been on the fence as most say it's not worth the money vs result and stock works well

were they dialled in or left at zero?

    • Latest round of updates on the car. I purchased and installed a SWS clutch slipper to help with 60ft times and got some second-hand good condition 275/40R17 Hoosier DR2 radials. Test and tune in November showed the tyres were an upgrade over my over 15 year old mickey Thompson's and I got a 1.8 second 60ft and pb et of 11.71 but even then, that run wasn't great due to rain and driver error (the event got called off 10 minutes later fast forward to the weekend just gone 25th of Jan and there was finally a break in the weather to let racing happen. The first run the track was slippery and only managed a 12.1@129 Second run the track was better and got a new pb et and mph: 11.54@131   Lith and I then worked out that I installed the previously mentioned clutch slipper incorrectly and its never been working, and I had just been dumping the clutch the entire time, we also noticed it was on street boost and not race boost. So I lined up for a third run with the car turned up in the first two gears, but the passengers side axle objected to clutch dumps and left the chat which stopped my weekend.   so there will be another attempt in the future once I replace the tyres as they rubbed and are stuffed now. but a low 11 should be on the cards.
    • Ceramic coating and heat shielding, you mean?
    • Turbos don't require pulling the motor apart so that's "easier". I would recommend the Nismo R3 turbos instead if you want to do stock twin turbo. It doesn't make as much power as the 2530s but it's only like ~50 whp off the mark and should have better response (ball bearing CHRA, slightly smaller turbo). A local that went with a Garrett G30 and 6boost manifold recently nearly burned his car to the ground after the hood insulator started melting and and burning so if you go single turbo I recommend doing a lot of research and validation work to make sure you don't do the same.
    • New rear lights, filler panel sprayed, cleaned and back together    before, during, after shots 😍
    • 100% is gyprock, I agree. Slip of the keyboard. Haha! I left my indicator bulbs out to save a bit of weight.
