To my knowledge crower doesn't make a stage 3 turbo cam but supposedly it can be used for both N/A and turbo. Best deals i've seen were dezod and truehonda. Good luck with your build.
I got the best deal from truehonda with Eddie, talk to him..... You could use stage 3 for turbo its full race cam so its not recommended for the streets. I have stage 2 probably the best upgrade besides the turbo. I love the cam it makes the car sound MEAN! good luck pm me if you got any questions bout the cam.

Rep Power: 300 no E-manage works just fine with it(thats the setup i have). it may idel a little rough(even that can be fixed with a good tune) but it runs fine.
also when you do get it be sure to modifie your tensioner, some people forget to do this when they install the cam.

Rep Power: 0 Correct, Stage 2 and 3 both require the Crower VS&R upgrade. I also would recommend getting a standalone ECU like the AEM EMS to make sure you can get the most out of this cam.....We sell all of these items (FYI)
Does it say in the install you have to modify the tensioner? I put mine on the first time and my tensioner broke loose and bent a valve. I talked to many other people with stage 2 and they didn't know what i was talking about.
Btw andy looks like your getting a good deal.

Rep Power: 0 You would also need to buy the valvetrain kit thats another $385 right?
Seems like alot of money for an unproven cam as far as I know. I saw supermex's got him like 50 hp, but his was a custom regrind. I haven't seen anyone with big dyno number increases on this cam. Maybe they are out there and I haven't seen it.

i havent many results witht his turbo cam...doesnt really seem worth it right now..unless someone comes out with a turbo cam with nicer upgrades 
...i believe alot of poeple have said ur better off just keeping your stock cam b.c it works just fine! idk maybe ium wrong.

Rep Power: 0 The Cam and VSR kit will help with the right FMU and a good tuner! Once I get my Emanage and get the Cam and VSR kit I will get tuned shortly after and post results.

thats y we modded it. this is the only way i know to get it to work right. i have had 0 issues with it since we modded it. before it would go slack and then slam back. it only did this for a sec before we noticed it and were able to fix it before something really bad happend.
who else has this cam and what did u do?
oh and this cam is worth the cash. i made 20 more whp with this and i know it could make more if it where EMS instead of e-manage.
^^^ Hell yeah the cam is worth it. Yeah well i watched it for a while it looked fine next thing i know the car shut off and we say the bent valve. I had to weld the tensioner in place and then use the bolt to apply a good amount of pressure
