Cams

Would anyone know what I should be paying for a upgraded camshaft kit for my K20?
I presume there is a few out there, I'm not being told much about it , just that it's specially designed for a turbocharged K20 ???
i've been told it'll add over 20hp which will enable me to run lower boost and save the engine.

I'm in the US and so those are the products I am most familiar with.
Brian Crower actually has forced induction cams that can be located here:

Ron at IPS has done a LOT of R&D for naturally aspirated K-series platforms.
He shares a lot of information at www.K20A.org and sells his products here:
http://intrinsicperformance.com/products.html
I heard that he was developing forced induction cams, but I have not followed up on it recently.

And Skunk2 has K-series cams but I don't know much about applications and their site does not
have too much information.  It could not hurt to contact them.

Thanks Mc Fred,
I'm being charged £1200 for Cams, Titanium retainers and valve springs ,does that sound right to you?
I'm only going for the upgraded cams so i can turn the boost down to a safe setting but still keep the power I want.

if you look at what IPS charges ($1200) and the additional cost of the Springs & Ti retainers ($400) then the price you are being charged doesn't look so bad.
