Default CAM SPECS for TURBO CAR?
Hey can you guys help me decide a cam for my turbo'd big cube car?

Thanks,
Andy

Lots and lots and lots of boost.
I would suggest a C5R head instead for the extra air flow.
About the cam ???????????????????????????????????

Thunder 227/224 sounds good to me. You want to keep a reverse split on a turbo car, and you don't need alot of cam either. I would consider the 227 being a little on the big side for a turbo.

I've heard a few folks say that the Stealth II - 224/220 .581 on 116LSA would make a good turbo cam.

I have a 220/220 .556 on a 114 in my ARE motor, and it was built to make 600RWHP with twins. I'd imagine it'd work the same with a single turbo.

900rwhp is a lot of power. I'd be getting with Terry @ Cam Motion or Chris Mays @ Comp Cams since they both have a lot of experience with LS1 camshafts.
