which cams should i get? i'm thinking of some for the mid range, would 14's be the best route for my 3147 and 8.8.1 pistons? i want a little more low end. whats a good time to call you at the shop to discuss this?

why do u want more loww end just curious? some of these cams will help you get more power up top or help let you get power with a higher redline.. i know more about NA cams tho for hondas since i did regrinds on my old b20vtec but the cams if set to the right advance/retard settings help alot.. read all the info bro theres all the answers right there.. u take ur car to the track yet?

OH AND HERES THE SECTION WHICH APPLIES TO YOUR QUESTION

A stage III/50 trim isn’t enough power for you. You want HUGE power, so you’re running a monster snail. Because of this big turbo, the lag is unbearable, not spooling till 3500rpm or even higher. You need something that is going to spool that big turbo, or your going to go grey before you make boost. You are going to need the crane 193-0014 split pattern cams. The design on these cams allows for a rapid spool on big turbo's. By designing the exhaust smaller than the intake, you increase the velocity of the exhaust gasses leaving the motor. This accelerated exhaust flow helps spool quickly. The down side to this setup is that its not designed for high rpm power. As many people have realized, this cam will give a lot of torque down low, but tends to die off as the rpm’s climb. This is due to the exhaust cam becoming inefficient. Other modifications aren’t going to make that huge of a difference with this cam, because it’s designed to spool a big turbo, not really to make power on its own. The only time I recommend these cams is when you really need to spool faster. These camshafts will make a bit of noise, if you don’t clock it with cam gears, the idle will be quite rough, once clocked for maximum power, it will be noticeable but not erratic. You don’t need to worry about valve springs with this camshaft.

yeah i already read that, i just heard 14's were not great for our car. this car won't be going to the track to the end of the semester.
