Tomei Poncams Rb25De

[HungarySkyline]

Iv searched everywhere and i can't seem to find threads about people putting poncams into a RB25DE, has anyone installed these before? Im getting the ones that are straight drop in no tune needed. Iv had people who have had decent gains on N/A Sr20s but nothing on RB25DE, if anyone has any insight on this, let me know cheers.

most people wouldnt bother with this as the gains vs cost dont make it worthwhile

Why would you fit bigger cams and not re-tune it?

[HungarySkyline]

I would of thought originally to tune it aswell, but it said it doesnt need to be done.

you could be looking at 10kw for $1000 or so. . . not real good value

This is true, plus the bigger u go the further u move ur torque curve up the rev range, natros need midrange grunt no good gaining 8rwkw up high If your going to lose 10rwkw between 0/4000 rpm.

Only three reasons to do cams in a natro:

1. It's a race car restricted to capacity/induction rules

2. Your intending on spending big money on a natro build (lobe separation I believe are different between na and turbo cams through tomei, well in the 34 anyway)

3. You want a tuff as nails idle (in which case a simple drop in 254 8mm lift won't overly achieve you'll need solid lifters and I big mofo cam (which will result in an off cam lagy pig and more then likely be slower)

There's at least one good reason I can think of why you can't find any threads where people have dropped $1k on cams for an NA rb35...
