camshaft & turbo opinions
hey guys looking at a set putting a set of HKS 280 in the evo 8 aswell as a evo 9 turbo.. ive asked a lot of different people if the cam duration might be a bit big for the turbo and make it way to laggy but i keep getting mixed answers, what do you fellas reckon?
Thanks in advance!!!

Want a nice bump in power for not a lot of money? Do what I did and get the FP 71HTA CHRA upgrade. It's 600 bucks and swaps out a stock IX turbos CHRA and bolts right into the stock hot side. It'll net you a lot more power.
As for cams look past HKS, they're not really worth it. Look at GSC S2's or Kelford 272's.

Yes, that's a lot of duration for a stock turbo since that's the question you asked. Try looking at this in a different way-- whats the current red line, what are the power bands of the cams you want and the turbo you have or are considering? The more overlap you have in the rmp ranges noted the better the combination will be. For example, No real sense in a big cam that builds power after 4k if the rmp limit of the motor is 7.5k and the turbos range is from 3-7k. Much better is the cam comes on at 3k and so does the turbo and the usable power range is 4500 rpm instead of 3500rpm. Just a thought.
