I'm installing my turbo on my 3SFE. I was thinking, can a Performance camshaft be also installed to this engine.

you could, but itd have to be custom ground and why you'd spend the money on that, and the turbo, and end up with an only slightly faster car, that is only a quarter as reliable. engine swap or bust, your not gonna get much out of a 3SFE.

it depends, they say the same with the 4af and 4afe's and people have done some amazing stuff with them. I would say stick with the same camshafts for now, and go for connecting rods and pistions first

Cool

It depends on what kind of powerband you're looking for.
How high are you looking to take it?
