Hi all.
As of late, I have been doing a lot of research on the turbo portion of my build. I have also asked quite a few people on here for their opinions on certain aspects of my build. By the way, to all that have contributed with their suggestions, pictures and know how, thank you VERY much.
Here is the conundrum which I am faced with now. The people whom I have spoken with have given me different answers. I am including the specs to the cams which I am currently considering for my build and hope to get some feedback regarding them and perhaps what you have experienced using them. I'm trying to find the best cam for my specific application. If you have any questions about my build, please ask.
The cams listed are for a B16 head:

I am having a hard time understanding how a cams intake/exhaust duration/lift will affect my build, as GSR cams have been suggested for my build, which can hold around 450hp. I've been trying to find the Skunk2 stage 2 turbo cams, which were my original choice so that I could post specs for them but have had a hard time finding them. I'm also at work so my online time is multi-tasked between HS and a gazibillion other things. Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all.
