Unfortunately for you, you have a roller rocker motor. So, no cams for earlier SR20s will work. JWT just released some testing of their roller rocker cams. You might want to give them a call to see when they will be available.

Also, cam makers in Europe also make roller rocker cams too. I believe Piper is a name I've heard of around here.

Speaking of cams, what would I want to use in my '93 highport and how much do they cost? I e-mailed JWT but they've never gotten back to me. I'm assuming that if I decide to do an BB or Avenir swap in the next year or so, that the cams I put in my engine now won't swap into that motor. Thanks.

what you would want to use?? here we go....
Take your pick

S3, S4, C1-C3
Toda
HKS
JUN

The best is a subjective question since there is no one that has used all or tested all.
Have fun

Why not? Pick an S3,S4, or C1 and they'll do just fine in a det. Just get a set of cam gears to dial out the overlap when you put them in the det.

Yup, I'm getting either S4's or HKS 264, pretty much the same cam. I plam to get turbo... the only thing you need to do is get some cams gears to dial out overlap.

I heard if you retard intake 2.5 degrees and advance exhaust ? degrees you get faster spool up... retard the exhaust and for better top end.
