Question Cam of choice?

I want to go turbo in future but I'm curious to what cam can I install now that will work well with a turbo and give me power now also. I don't want to have to swap the cam out again.

I would recommend you look into a 224R on a 114LSA or a 228R on a 114LSA. Both of these cams will work with the turbo and still provide decent power without it. I would not want to go any bigger though, too big and the cam won't work with the turbo very well.

question on the 224 type cams with turbos, specifically lobe types? what is all happening and the difference between the XER lobes .581 and the XE lobes of .568? how will these different lifts affect the power when when its put into the engine?

i guess what im asking is, what will change power wise if i take your
224/224 .581/.581 114 LSA 110 ICL with what seems to have XER lobes(just looking at the custom cam section on your website )

and use XE type lobes that change the cam to somthing like this
224/224 .568/.568 114 LSA 110 ICL with XE lobes

asking N/A and then also turbo as well.
