ok, i tried to read everything out there before i posted this but ill just go ahead.
its a stock LS1 motor, M6, 600hp goal, was leaning towards a 76mm .96ar. ive heard so many different opinions throughout posts on which cam to use for builds so i guess im just asking for this one what would you recommend? thanks in advance.

That turbo will get you there easily and will spool really fast with the right converter. As far as cam Im not that knowledgeable about it so instead of Bsing it ill let you wait for predator z, pat g, texas speed to chime in. lol

BTW im sure to get the most accurate specs they will want to know if your staying with the 3200 stall, 3.73s, stock heads, stock intake manifold etc.

His post says M6 though his Sig says A4. Maybe have LilJohn or Martin custom spec a can for you. A good cam will really help you spool the turbo with a manual. I'm doing a 4.8/T56 SS. Stock 4.8 with a custom cam, Vic Jr intake, Huron Speed truck kit and most likely a PT7675. Hoping to crack 600rwhp fairly easy on 91 and meth. Though I've been told I wont need meth?

yes, the car is M6 with 3.73's not an A4 sorry for the confusion.

600hp and a PT7675 with a M6... I would leave the stock cam in it. Way doable.

Yea you can do it with the stock cam, but you still have to add valvesprings and if its a front mount turbo itll be much esaier to swap cams now then when the turbo and piping are attached lol

So why put a different cam in it then?

You have to do all then other supporting mods any ways why not cam it? Good can will help pull the combo together, help with spool etc, sound wicked and make 600 wheel that much easier.

If you can make the power on 7 cylinders why run all 8?! Its the same concept its just more efficient

it used to be an all heads/cam car but i decided to go a different route so i already have springs, all the supporting but since i was taking the cam out anyway i thought i might as well replace it with a cam that will help the mid range power or help spool the turbo as i have read about many turbo cars that were dyno queens but couldnt pull down the highway/track for anything.

With your goals, I'd go with a standard 224/224 on 114*. Will make good power and you should be able to find one used for pretty cheap. Most overlook the tried but true options, however with your goals I think you'd be very happy.

thanks for the advice, i keep getting opinions both end of the spectrum from regular to reverse splits for various reasons and i just want to make sure i pick out the right one thats going to work for me

Our LS1 Stage 2 Turbo cam would work well in your setup. It is 230/231 .609"/.598" 115+4, and if you wanted something milder the LS1 Stage 1 would also work. It is 226/226 .605"/.605" 114+3.

5.slow99

thanks!! my question is isnt the stage 2 ment for larger turbo applications like 88, 92, etc. if you think it would be a good fit then by all means im all for it just wanting to double check sense thats what it recommended

Those really need to be changed. I don't do the website, and if you look all of the different stage 1, stage 2 and stage 3 cams recommend the same turbos even though they are different specs. Also since the overlap is very low on both camshafts they will both work well in your particular application.

5.slow99

thanks for the clarification, helps out a lot!!

beause you can save the money spent on a bigger cam and have the exact same thing. That is why. "Pull" the combo together"? ...lol. Because a 600hp turbo setup needs to be precisely engineered to function.

Let me guess? NASA engineer? We dont need your logic in here making us all look dumb....

He's already cammed and has all supporting mods. After selling his can, he might be $100 or $150 out of pocket for a new cam? You suggest he runs the cam he has now? Take into consideration he is a 6spd and spooling a turbo is a tad more difficult. Please explain how a cam wouldn't pull the combo together? You didn't go run 9's by throwing parts at it, you picked out a combo that met your goals. Unless you just wrote a check to a shop.

Bottom line, both will do it, but which one will do it better? Which will spool quicker, have the better power curve and overall suit the motor better?

5.slow99

that is my big concern is a good overall power curve and not something dead untill 6000. i already have to take this cam out so im definitely putting something in to replace it.
