This cam set has LCs of 110int and 115exh, with a wide LSA of 112.5. You should get nominally better power at 0/-2 or -1/-2 with a 2.3L, but be aware that you aren't getting much (if any) benefit from those oversize valves, simply because the factory ports and bowls are the bottleneck that no valve can fix. Consider a CNC ported head.

The GSC R2 is designed and timed for a broad powerband using a 100mm crank with 150mm rod length and a competently ported head. I like the timing as is, but for street use and best possible spool, I might play with retarding the exhaust cam 1-2 degrees to reduce the LSA from 112 to 110-108, although it will make for a choppier idle.

After reading your previous advices I understand I have to retard the intake to -1 or -2 ?
Thanks

I do not know anything about the E9 turbo. The Comp Cams 280 set is good for a smaller turbo and street use, but does not have enough effective duration for the larger (e.g. GT35R) turbo setups that move the power higher in the rpm range. The intake cam would require 2-3 degrees of retard for better power, and 1-2 degrees retard on the exhaust.

Thanks for your answer.
It's the Evo 9 80 series turbo. This one is modded with new wheels and anti surge cover.
The engine is in a heavy Outlander for a street use.

English runs hydraulic lifters at nearly 11k rpm making 1400whp. Going to solid lifters seems....pointless.
