SR High Cams - Tuning Questions
Hey everybody, I really REALLY want to install the SR high cams... but i need to know a few things and i was hoping someone on here might know..
1. Will the cams work with a stock beta 2 ecu?
2. If not, what should i to do make it streetable?
3. Will the SR High cams work with the stock valve springs?
4. Anything else i should know before i install them?

It will work with all your above questions without a doubt 
You may also may want to look into a S-AFC for better results when you install these cams with your other mods smile.gif

ok, thanks for the reply...
so just to be 100% sure..
1. the SR HIGH cams will work with the stock ECU.
2. the SR HIGH cams will work with the stock valve springs.
COOL!

last but not least... i have a cold air intake, and kspec 4-1 headers with complete full exhaust (no cats)...
will I lean out with this combo and the SR cams?

Well again, when you do any mods that are going to affect the fuel to air ratios or such, make sure you reset your ecu. Just disconnect your battery and leave it unconnected for about 10 minutes. When the battery is reconnected, the ECU will be reset and relearn your system with the upgrades. If it's still running too lean, then the S-FAC is prolly your best first bet.

what do cams have to do with nitrous?
lol
sure they will work with nitrous ! !!!
i dont need to ask any questions about that...
but i did want to have more info on the tuning aspect of it.... here is a good question... if i get the SAFC to tune the car, should i also upgrade the injectors ? basically, from my understanding, all i can do with a SAFC is trim the fuel flow.. and i dont think i'll need to trim the stock injectors if i'm already leaning out !!! so basically, i wonder if i'll have to trim some fuel for it to idle better... ? yet leave the fuel curve stock for WOT operation...

To be honest, the best place to ask your questions is in the SR forum.
Only the cam manufacturer knows if the cam requires different valve springs, and what other supporting mods the cams require to work properly.
the S-AFC is a good idea with cams, because cams alter the valve open/close times and ammounts. If the intake valves open MORE, and LONGER, then more fuel would be required. The Stock ECU would NOT be programed for that, so the S-AFC would be required to richen out the fuel curve to make sure you don't run lean.

lost horsepower huh? ....
the up the jetting. thats what nitrous is all about !
so maybe you loose some of the juice with the extra overlap of the bigger cams... so make up for it easily.. size up the n20 and fuel jets.... problem solved ! LOL
