Andy's old Z18et (with a rebuilt factory turbo) had the noisiest spool I've ever heard. It was awesome!
Same in my 610. Has some pretty loud spool, and I'm running factory everything.

Hey man sorry dont actually know how this compares to the specs of the standard cam but they are quite different by the looks of things, its a fair regrind, nothing outrageous as i dont want any valve overlap due to it being a turbo setup.

Sorry I have 1 3/4 set of headlights, not too keen to sell them, sorry dude, they would look sweet though.

I just noticed that your cam card gives you suggested centerlines for the intake, and exhaust. Thats a bit of a lol, as they're both ground into the one camshaft, it's not possible to adjust it.

Nice Engine build, most of the cast iron Nissan turbo manifolds of the era were designed fairly simialr to each other.

The easiest way to see how well your turbo manifold is performing is to put a fitting in the manifold and connect it to a boost gauge and compare boost pressure vs manifold pressure.

if manifold pressure is lower than boost pressure it means its performing exceptionally well ( that wont happen on a OEM manifold )
if manifold pressure is less than 1.5 x boost pressure ( and your getting nice fast spool ) then its performing OK and probably isn't worth changing.
