if you were closer, i'm sure my brother would be down. I'll still talk to him but i doubt it because he needs his car daily.

John, why do you want a gsr cam?

The best setup for a JRSC system is a GS-R intake cam and a Type R exhaust cam. There's a lot of science behind it. Having to due with pressure, valve overlap, dynamics and all that fun engineering stuff. But the short story is Endyn (we're not worthy) and LHT have done extensive testing and have been able to prove this with Dyno runs. For turbo setup the cam choice is again different.

So by switching to GS-R intake cam I believe i may pick up another pound of boost and/or get boost earlier in the RPM curve.

I'm doing a few other things right now and hopefully by mid-August I'll be breaking 300whp with a JRSC setup

ive heard about that. this isnt the first time ive come across somebody using the gsr intake and type-r exhaust. just never really knew why.

Awesome - can't wait to see the results.

Since I was considering donating my cam I'll ask...does anybody know what happens to a GSR motor when it's rocking a TypeR intake cam?

i dont think you get a positive result. you dont have the manifold to use the cam properly.

You are correct. Also the Type R valve train is different. Stronger springs and lighter valves. You need this to handle the Type R's radical cam profile plus the valve train components help it achieve the higher redline.

All good points. Now that you guys type them out I realize I already knew this, and might have typed the same thing if somebody asked me the same question, but my brain was hijacked by the TYPE YARRRRRRRR!!!
