272s give you a very rough idle so its not worth the cons if he still has the 5s head, 272s in a 3s head might be more productive and worth the consiquences.

Somebody buy some Webcams for their GT and then take me for a ride in it. I'm really curious what they would be like.

I'd like to know if its worth it too... my friend said i shouldn't bother doing a turbo and just do cams and header for some performance gains...

the problem with web cam regrinds is that they've been designe for NA applications. Use in a turbo motor will probably hinder it performance. I don't know the specs on them, but I'm assuming there will be too much overlap. Something you may wanna look into before you start blowing wasting your money.

It's a completely different set up sadly. I asked that same question about a year ago. Honestly, all you have to do is look at the heads on each of them and you'll see there's not much chance in making it work. I see that you've got a nice turbo set up, but your still wanting more power. When do you think that will end? Do you think getting a set of performance cams is going to satisfy you? Consider this, and the option of going with a 3s head. With the 2.2 liter block, and a 3s head, it's like a big bore 3s. You've got real room to grow with that. -------------------- Live Free, Be Happy
