What do you guys recommend for best performance, reliability, or streetable?

NISMO, 248 Exhaust Cams, JWT, or PDM

Does anyone make cams over 248? Like 260's or 270's?

I wonder if they measure the cams the same way, 275 degree's of duration is a ton. Most of the RB guys I know only run 272's and thats when they're using a really big turbo. In fact I didn't think they ran worth a crap without adjustable cams sprockets/gears.

from what ive heard... JWT cams are incredibly aggressive, so 275 may be legit

.402/270http://www.courtesyparts.com/M...00001

.550/288 & .563/292http://www.courtesyparts.com/M...00003

Not sure if those are for the SOHC or DOHC. How would those be in a KA24DET? Still wondering what is the best cam selection for daily driver but has good performance. I've heard JWT cams are just fine and dandy (streetable). Any of the others yielding better performance? PDM's is about the same as JWT I think... Also wondering about the torque curve.

Again, choices are:248 Exhaust Cams, NISMO, JWT/PDM

Those are most likely both for the E, I KNOW the second one is.
