Default Turbo cam...

ok. the truck is going to see more track time than street time.

It will have a glide with a brake, slightly bigger than stock cubed, with a straight T4 turbo..... kind of a small one... as I have lack of space. this is in an S10 pickup. LS6 block.... built bottomend... 317 ported heads......


what are your thoughts? as I am lost!

I LIKE that idle!!!!! very noticeable. Is it specificly meant for a turbo? or a hybrid for a blower as well?

Speed Inc has seperate ones.... but I cant find any soundclips of them....

the cam I currently had in was:

226/228 588/588 116

Thumbs up

We initially used our cam in a twin turbo Corvette, shown here. We then found that it works great with centrifical superchargers as well. Bob

you really need a custom cam for your setup- no 2 engines are created equal so why would the cams be the same.You can call me or a couple of other vendors on here that do custom turbo cams

Just a lame plug for Shawn and the folks at Va speed. I toured their shop and they fed us some grub...these guys know their stuff and have some wicked rides as well as a ton of know-how. I recommend you give them a call.

I missed the slightly bigger than part, but you would need sleeves and a bit of work to get to that point.
