80's will be fine, I've made over 850rwhp on them with e85, I run the gt2-3 cam in my setup and really like it.

I have the GT2-3 cam still would like the muscle car sound, but don't want the lazy spooling.
powerband on the FTI 2400-6600 thinking i have enough converter for the cam.

Is the reverse split camshaft in a twin turbo motor needed. Cams that does not looks like turbo cam are used and makinge power, example the GT2-3 just doesn't looks right on paper but popular with the turbo guys.

Could you use 60lbs injectors with meth injection for 700whp+ and not use the 80lbs.

What was the FTI cam specced for? I'd ask Ed curtis, he knows his stuff. The GT2-3 will sound like a stock cam and the FTI cam will have slight lope. The valve events on the FTI cam will spool the turbo's quicker and make more power above 6000 rpm. For twins I think you could run a little more overlap and a positive split duration with a little later exhaust valve closing event. I may be interested in the FTI cam if you don't use it send me a pm.

The cam is spec for a single turbo 900hp+, power above 6000 rpm is dangerous for the LQ4 just not sure how well it would work with twins.

twins or single doesnt really matter as far as the cam goes. The overall system needs looked at from heads to manifold to header design. FTI cam will do ok. I'd run that. My friend runs a 230/236 in a LS2 based motor with ported 317's and made 816whp on a mustang dyno on 11 psi with E85 and alot of meth. Stock bottom end + rod bolts.

Would Twins 62mm give me enough HP to run low 6's 1/8 mile with a factory looking camaro.

OK the TU2 and FTI mention above which one would be better for the twins, now the TU2 is a single pattern and the FTI is reverse split.
