Ok so I am trying to order a set of tomei poncam for my series 2 rb25det. I came across a few threads that say that the poncam s2 and s1 only refers to your cam angle sensor. I have the series 2 rb25 that uses the older style cas the silver one which is the same as the s1 cas. So basically I need to know for sure if I have a series 2 rb25 with the silver CAS do I order s1 poncams or s2??? Thanks

Also If anyone knows of better cam I can run without solids let me know. I do have upgraded springs and retainers but still on hydro lifters.

Series 1 poncams are for both series 1 and 2 RB25DET's (half moon cas). Series 2 poncams are only for neo RB25DET's (star cas)

and some super late r33 motors as well for the s2, but it should be denoted late.

This is why we verify every RB camshaft order with our customer before processing :chuckle:.
Most other companies do not understand the application differences and relay on the customer to choose.
