I want to know what kind of camshaft lift duration would max my potential of if using a hiboost turbo kit. a 255 duration at 9.5mm of lift or a 282 with 11.3mm of lift. everyone knows the 282 with 11.3 will provide more power with a NA motor, but how are they effected by forced induction. and is the haltech tunable to add in new cams and such

Depending on what you will be using the car for, a 262-270 would do very well with the stock head design. The main thing to do is to match the turbos A/R with the least amount of back pressure with the least amount of cam overlap. I am thinking more on the lines of at least a .63 A/R nothing lower. IMO a sweet combo would be a (I am a Garrett fan) gt3063 to get the job done, and at 10 psi with a 650-750 12 ohm injectors, upgraded fuel pump the above cams and a EMS properly tuned I would say at least 300whp with just as much torque. .02
ok, me and doogie must be using different terms becuase that just confused the hell out of me. my numbers are based off of the cosworth cam set which i recently found out might not work for my engine anyway, i know of a few shops that can make camshafts and they would just need the numbers to build it. i am going to use the hiboost kit more than likely becuase they offer the complete package and easy install i want to take there kit to the next level with cams, pistons and such. i was thinking that in may just redoing everything at once. i am trying to figure out what cams would work best with the kit, i think i am going to go talk to juan myself and see what he thinks
Why do you even want cams? There are easier and better ways to get power from a turbo.
You would be better off just upgrading the turbo with the hi-boost kit.
I wouldn't look into cams until I ran out of other places to make power.
What are your goals?
And Crower is soon to make a turbo grind, that will be cheaper than getting custom ones made.

i have a nice budget for this car, and since i have a truck to drive i have no hurry to get the car back in running order, i want the extreme mazda 3, i am starting with a new block that will be in soon, i am going to have it prepped and sleeved, and then forged everything and low comp for insane boost. i want to pretty much dust anything around here, eat all integres/rsx. kill all hondas, and even mess up a mustang gt or 2, i have full intentions on using the hiboost kit with every upgrade he sells. i just havent looked at the cams or head work that is also very important
