Cams, N/A vs WRX vs STi

Recommended Posts

So I just started another thread about building up a 22 DOHC turbo motor, and I'm wondering what the best option for cams is.

Half the reason for going for a moderatly high comp (rough guess going by what the super accurate interwebs says: 9.5:1 ish) 2.2 is to have good low down torque and around town drivability. Kind of the total opposite of the 20K STi motor in my wagon. I had a chat to kelford cams on the phone the other day and tried to get a bit of info out of the guy I was talking to, and he seemed to indicate that non turbo cams might still be a very good choice for this wee build.

I'm new to the cam game, I know what lift and duration are, but I know there's much more to it than that, and I don't know how these things affect the end product. I don't really know how N/A cams will work for me on boost. Is it going to be a case of good low down, at the cost of top end? If they are a good idea, how come nobody ever talks about putting N/A cams in turbo? Is this all a load of guff, and am I just better off leaving the turbo cams that are going to come with my turbo heads and calling it done?

The other question is, is it worth my time tracking down some STi cams instead... Does anyone know how 20G STi cams related to 20G WRX/20H cams?

Lots of questions, sorry :(

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
