rb25det camshaft upgrades (SK i need your help!)

[zinkrb250]

What's up everyone? I have researched quite a bit on this subject and have found SK is a very informative rb guru... especially on the subject of camshafts...

My current situation....

95 240sx SE

SII rb25det (production date: 8/96) -installed

ACT 6 puck clutch

Hybrid SE FMIC

Nismo FPR

Nismo Thermostat

PE timing belt

New water pump

Fabricated Turbo elbow

3" downpipe

3" test pipe

3" blitz nurspec R catback

Walbro 255 fuel pump

FAL 220's

I'm almost finished with this swap... When i removed the CAS... i discovered the bracket to the CAS was snapped in half and my exhaust camshaft was broken...

So this brings me to the market of upgrading my cams... Not looking to go into the high revs so i'm not interested in replacing my valve train or grinding the head. I'd like to keep my VVT as well!

SK you have suggested numerous times that a 256* cam is ideal for mild street upgrade which is what i'm looking for... nothing above 9.00mm lift as well.

I've shopped around and there are basically 2 companies i have found that supply what i need... www.takakaira.com and www.greenline.com

takakaira.com supplies HKS cams for the rb25 at $351(US) a piece

-256* 8.8mm IN / 256* 8.8mm or 260* 9.00mm EX

greenline.com supplies Tomei Poncams for the rb25 at $573.64(US) IN/EXpackage

-256* 8.5mm IN/ 256* 8.5mm EX

All together greenline.com is going to save me atleast $200 extra... and since i have already stated that i'm not interested in grinding my head or replacing the valve train... i'm looking for opinions on which would be the most wise decision. I'm looking to *eventually* reach 300rwhp... this car is going to be my daily driver and reliability is a must!!! Basically i'd like it set up for mostly street and occasional track days.

In advance thanx for your input gentlemen... i'm located in the states and there are very few knowledgable with this type of information.. appreciate any kind of help i can get.

Tomei Poncams.

Straight fit into the stock head and you keep all the variable timing and stuff to boot.

No doubt most will say this too.

Tomei, HKS and Apexi do cams for them.
