Just wondering whats a better upgrade on a E8. Upgrading cams, or turbo.

Im either looking at Kelford 272s, or GSCs 272 with Springs and retainers, or, a locally built 20/22g turbo. The price between the cam, or turbo upgrade are quite minimal.

Current mod list
Stock 8 turbo with 10.5 turbine
Eboost 2 boost control running 23-24psi
Megan racing O2 housing
Full 3 inch front/catback
Lower intercooler piping.

Car will be tuned in 93octane, with no Meth. E85 isnt very available either. Ill also be getting a new front mount when we move towards summer, not sure its very important at the moment when im seing intake temps of 60F at night.

 

No thoughts on the above guys ?

 

cams

 

i would get cams first.

 

Interesting.

Can I ask why cams over the turbo ? (not trying to be rude)

 

def go with the cams! just because a turbos going to gain more with cams so get the cams first then later get the turbo just do things in order and the car will be great

 

I say cams as well. They are a good supporting mod for your turbo upgrade later.

 

cams... turbo should always be the LAST thing.... power wise of course

 

cams..pick out the cams and then pick a turbo, duh. if u have a turbo in mind, find cams that would best suit that turbo setup.

 

Get the cams first.

 

Cams, the end!!!!

 

IM GONNA SAY THE CAMS JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE

 

If you want to get the most gains out of a new turbo you need upgraded cams so it only makes sense to do the cams first. You should also consider the GSC S1s. I gained ~90awhp with S1s and an ETS 3.5" intercooler.

 

Well, I suppose thats that then. Cams it is.

/thread,

 

Great choice! Cams make a HUGE difference top end! Good luck!
