Modified OEM head/cams vs GT3 Head/cams
Besides different lift and duration on 996tt vs GT3 cams, the GT3 has a different number of cam pointers than the 996tt. This is what communicates with the ECU. They are really a different animal, especially with the vario cam on the 996tt.

My motor has GT3 RSR heads and valves sizing. It is also ported with ceramic coated combustion chambers and exhaust ports. It has GT3 cam housing and custom profiled billet GT3 cams. It's been awhile now, but didn't Todd get the cams for your motor from me?

so when swapping over to the RSR heads is there any part that is usable from stock heads? because they use a different tappet right? different cams? different Valves?
how much flow difference is there between the two because the info i gather doesn't seem to make it worth the $ unless your building a monster like yours Cjv
The 996tt heads can be opened up with larger valves/ports. The 996tt cam housings will not accept as large (radical) a cam as the GT3 cam housings will.
GT3 cams are not really the best cams for a turbo motor. They were designed for a NA motor and the lift and duration is not ideal.

There can be a hugh difference. My heads flow 360 cfm @ 25 inches.
No experience, however from what I understand the new 997tt's use a different "Japanese" motor while Porsche uses the one we are use to for the 997 GT3 as well as the Cup and RSR.
