Default Nismo vs. JWT cams? Dynos, comparison anyone?

I wondered if theses two cam sets have ever been compared to another? Which makes most power, which makes the more usable power, etc.

Anyone care to comment?

In this case the JWT is the more economic option, I guess.

Are there other cam that anyone would recommend over these two and supply prove why?

Nismo will give a good overall gain whereas the JWT S1 will make most of its power in the top end. They are not the same thing. Different lifts and durations.

Go tomei if you have a raised limiter. JWT over nismo for pricing IMO. I think JWT and Nismo are easiest to install.

What's best for a Twin Turbo setup? Particularly APS Twin Turbos since that's what I have. JWT Clutch/Flywheel too.
