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'.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
