Default Best Cams

Hi,

I am running a Stage 3 RWD Saff. I have bought an Autronic SM2 and am looking for cams. I'm looking at ~450HP. Which cams should I go for?

1. BD16 intake / stock exhaust cams
2. Pair BD14
3. Pair BD16
4. BD16 intake / BD14 exhaust cams
5. BD16 intake / BD15 exhaust cams

Any help with be deeply appreciated! Thanks!

Anybody knows whether the stock cams of a Saff 2WD is the same as the RS500 stock cams? What is the lift duration?

What about BD16 intake / stock exhaust cams? Why are they people claiming this to be the best?
