Every one will give you a different opinion. I personaly run and trust a Virgina Speed Speced cam. Give them a call and try to talk to Shawn about it.

I think KY Turbo would be a wise choice too.

I'd say VA Speed, PatG, Speed Inc, etc. Any shop/person that has vast experience in specifying cams for turbo cars.

Chances are they will recommend a reverse split for a turbo application. At least that is what the consensus is from what I've been reading. I'm personally going to enlist VA Speed for an engine and custom cam for my turbo buildup.

wow soo many i can tell you i went through comp cams,lloyd elliot, Ai,cam motions,speed inc and first off speed inc never returned my emails or calls and Ai wanted the payment for the cam up front before they even speced it cam motions was a huge cam and the duration was offset for slow flowing exhaust,LE and comp gave me almost identical cams in the range i was thinking myself but it does sometimes depend on who at comp is specing it try a few times se if theres a difference but i went with LE he would help me and spec the cam the heads you name it 3 emails a day for 2 weeks helping me all for free didnt even buy the cam yet from him when he was helping me and always appoligised when he was too busy with orders or work to get right back to me soo probably not the answer you were looking for but i hope it helps comp was very good too!

Your best bet is to look for similar builds that have similar results and copy them. For your first go around, you don't want to be reinventing the wheel unless you have a pro in your corner. Which you don't or you wouldn't be asking. It'll save you a ton of money and aggrevation.
