All you're going to get with this thread is most likely forum opinion.

Nico member: "I have Brian Crower! So BRIAN CROWER IS THE BEST!"

You probably just need to alot of thread searching, in the SR section there is a CAMSHAFT Thread for SR20DET. Also, dont be afraid to search other forums. Knowledge comes from the desire to learn. If you want to learn. You will. Spend some time.

Here: zerothread/210484

My non-biased opinion, Supertech, Brian Crower, HKS and Toda all make great products.

I was recommended to use SuperTech Valvetrain Components and HKS or Toda Cams with Tomei Solid Lifters and OEM Rockers. This company who recommended this, as far as I know has the highest revving SR20DET.

I personally would like to use a full HKS Head System with SuperTech Valves and Guides and HKS Cams. Not stating it as the best, just what I would like to use.

Good luck.

I have heard from a college educated machinist specializing in 240sx head work that super tech makes great drive train products. I doubt you can go wrong with any of those manufacturers however.
