Looking for more bang for buck here. Goal is 270rwkws w/stock internals rb25det and I'd imagine close to 20psi. With all the other obvious bolt ons taken care of- what will give me a better power curve for the money? An adjustable exhaust cam gear or drop in tomei poncams? Or better to just save money and spend elsewhere? I think I'd be happy with at least 10kws gained in the band, but more than that and I'd definitely buy one or the other depending on the answers I get. Cheers

Bigger turbo. For a small increase an adjustable exhaust cam gear may give you a little. Bolt-ons that are obvious to one person may not be to another. What have you actually done?

Hyper gear. Fmic. Z32 maf. Coil packs. 740cc Injectors. Apexi pfc. Full 3.5 exhuast. Ebc. Then a tune. Might be missing something else. That's the list, currently deployed so spending my downtime day dreaming and making a list of items for my r33. I guess my question should be this- let's say with those mods making 270rwkws what can I expect to see from an adjustable cam gear vs. Tomei poncams? 10kws here vs 15 there? Rough estimates will do, much appreciated

Run E85 is the best bang for buck.

Bigger cams will just bring the powerband towards the right hand side of your RPM graph.

I would say, get it all running 1st, then get Poncams if you're not happy.

270kW with stock cams is a walk a in the park.

I did 372kW with stock cams, 1.7bar of boost on a stock unopened motor for nearly 2 years with track abuse before it exploded lol

How big are the prizes in your race category?

Haha that's a good question. Dont intend to race the car atm. But in the distant future I may go up to 500+bhp and was wondering if it's worth a purchase then

      Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...

      Yes, a plan for non-action is always my first sort of plan! I'm happy to see what falls out of invision's update. I had been having some thoughts on what to do with this the other day and they all seem to have fled my memory, after various solar panel induced traumas, squeaking suspension sphericals, etc etc, over the last little bit. I'll try and recall what I had in mind and make sure that I put it into print in some form before the Alzheimer's strikes again.

      The ability to have both a 5500 stall for launching, and a regular lockup for every other scenario is pretty sweet. Does it actually work well like that though in the real world? Would it hold up to track use and otherwise you'd never know you had a stall converter in it? If so, that's awesome

      The thing is, once the content has been tagged we can chop and change the end result as much as we want. Its identifying the content in the first place that needs to be done regardless of the final outcome.

      Sorry @GTSBoy I thought I'd replied here. There's a new BIG version of invision coming out soon, it might be worth waiting until that happens as it contains a lot of improved functionality for tags. My suggestion would be to add a top level page (not thread) with some info on it and then link to sub pages for various topics. We could even just start really simple with 2 or 3 pages underneath it. Those pages could just have a view (like a pre configured search result) of the tags we choose to put on it. We could have some background or an intro on each of these pages. My only issue is that while admins and mods can update the existing content to contain the tags we want, new posts can have whatever tags the author wants. That said, the reason our tags are so messy is because of that, so maybe we restrict tagging to admins/mods in edits.
