just for an update, i have a cam from rpw that i bought from vision imports. the cams, all of them, turbo or not are 330. if you get stage 2 or a turbo cam u must use valve springs as well. cam gear is 250. the springs were like 200 i think. if they tell you more than that they are just making some more profit. the reason they cams cost the same is that they cost the same to make, there is no difference in machining or tooling or labor in making a cam with a different grind. the RD is where the difference is and vision imports doesn't pay for that with any of their products.

on a different note.
is there any chance in some reverse domed pistons? i am planning on turbo later and lowering the compression ratio sounds better than raising it.

N/A pistons means higher compression. We cannot afford to do a variety of custom applications. As for turbo, stock compression works great as long as you have the right setup.

So when we order, we can be like "I need the N/A pistons" and you'll know what we mean, but they won't be sitting on the shelf? Is that the general idea?

If we got these pistons, would we be able to run nitrous without blowing them? If so how much could we run?

don't make me laugh, nitrous in these engines is not a good idea with any pistons/rods, I would think an even less-good idea with higher compression.

true about the nitrous, and yes if u order them, they would be special order, because we wont keep these on the shelf, due to a terrible past experience
