Hey guys,
I'm looking for some advice/recommendation on cams for my RB25DET build.
The car will be used as a street/drag car and the goal is to be running in the 10's.

Currently I have Tomei Poncams from my previous setup but looking to upgrade to some bigger cams for a stronger mid to top end.
I contacted both Camtech and Kelford and was recommended the following:
Camtech: 272/272 9mm lift
Kelford: 262/272 9.30/9.35mm lift

Anyone have any experience with one or the other or any advice on which of these cams would be the best option in my case.

The specs of the engine will be:

87mm bore
CP pistons 9.0:1 pistons
Upgraded piston pins
Spool H beam rods
Supertech +1mm valves
Supertech bronze valve guides
Supertech valve springs
Ported cylinder head
ID1000 injectors
CRG twinscroll exhaust manifold
Precision 6466 turbo
Dual TIAL 44mm wastegates
FFP intake manifold
Haltech Platinum pro ECU
Tomei adjustable cam gear (exhaust only)
Small shot of nitrous 
Water/Meth injection
Will keep VCT
Will keep hydraulic lifters
Will be running on 98 and 102 pump gas.
Manual gearbox

You'd probably be hard pressed to see the difference between them even on a dyno.  The Kelfords are ever so slightly better for the street, the Camtech possibly ever so slightly better for drag.

I personally would go for the Kelford, has more lIft.

Thanks guys.

Do these cams work with the Nissan VCT? Or, are you not running the VCT? Do either cam need head clearance work done?

Yes, they are VCT compatible, I will be running VCT on my build. These are "drop in" cams, so no head clearance required.

Awesome stuff. Both cams seem a very good choice over the "norm" Tomei 256 'drop-ins'.

    • So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House  
    • Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.
    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?
