NISMO has cam blanks available.
If you spend the $$ to run the RZZ heads you can run the S2 NISMO cams.

FI use, Tomei 268.

This is your 1 time get out of Noob free card. The search function is your friend.

Noob? I've just had a look at some of your posts on this forum.. pot.. meet kettle..
I'll admit, I've done little VQ work, but before you start calling someone a noob, you should maybe have some idea of what they actually do for a living.

268 are no where near big enough.
Nismo blanks AFAIK are too small for what we need - am in contact to see if they have anythign special laying around.
Looking at 290 11.5-13mm lift (without having to custom build them)

no off the shelf cam is going to get you where you want to be spec wise, but you can come close

you canot use anywhere near a 13mm lift without new pistons, springs, valves, etc etc etc.

The NISMO Type B Blanks can be ground to a max of 312 degrees of duration and .551 " lift. These are blanks that you would then need to have ground to spec.

I don't see how 11.0mm of lift would work with stock springs...you cannot even use stock springs on Tomei 268's (stock springs do not have enough travel)...but that's a different topic . The max a NISMO spring can travel is what a Tomei 268 has lift wise. I know this because we originally were going to use the NISMO springs with the NISMO Spec 2 cams on Kwame's car, and now will be going to Supertech duals.

Further, if this is a forced induction car, you are not going to need to worry as much about duration as lift.
