Which Turbo Cam and Why?
Ok here is the deal. I am picking my long block up on the 7th and need to know if I should go with the one I bought or the one thats already installed in the long block.
One thats in the long block
231/226 601/591 115 lsa
Custom HPE Cam that is unused sitting in a unopened box
232/242 595/610 115 lsa
Ok keep in mind I am building my car for 700rwhp + my motor is forged with all the fixings and stock bore size.
If I do not use the HPE cam I will sale it.

Just running the overlap #s it looks like the 2nd cam wouldn't be optimal in a turbo setup anyway. It has 7 degrees of overlap which seems a little much to me for a turbo cam. I know Jose @ Forcedinductions.com recommends overlap of -8 to +2 degrees depending on header/manifold efficiency. (Farther negative for more restrictive setups like log manifolds.) Looks more like a nice blower cam to me! I would keep the first but never the HPE cam in a turbo setup. Maybe in a full race app with huge turbo and huge headers.
However I am no cam expert. I am running the Speed Inc turbo cam because it has a nice idle sound and is proven to make insane power in a variety of turbo setups.
