Hypothetical Turbo Scenario to Educate..
Say you have a 408ci motor with a 225/219 .565/.565 lsa 115 110 cam with twin turbos that flow between 55lbs to 60lbs/min each. Heads that flow as well as AFR225's. What would happen if you install a cam as big as 240/240 .600/.600 lsa 115 plus 3? Do you think you would run into a backpressure issue via the turbo's being to small for that cam? Do you think a cam closer to 230/230 would be better suited for a combo that is mainly used for top end pull racing of say Supra's...? The car is a Corvette FRC.

The thing you have to consider is the entire combination. Personally I would not sacrifice driveability with an excessively large camshaft when the turbos can unrestrictively be brought to their limits with something more tame.

I don't think a 230/230 cam is too big, especially on a 408-it should make over 12" of vacuum easily and should be no problem to tune. I look at it this way-build the motor so i makes as much power off the FI-then pump it up-seems to work out well-especially when your limited to turbo sizing and belt slip-you would be amazed what a litttle compression can do.
