Ive researched and researched but can't seem to find which cam would be decent.

Car is a LS3 twin turbo setup. Running 57mm turbonetics

Block is stock for now and only plan on running 8 psi. I currently have a tsp 231/236 in there but was told that the pressure would be too high if I used that cam for my turbos.

Id like a cam that has a lopey idle like my 231/236.

Any recommendations or you tube idle videos anywhere?

honestly the ******* answer is any cam that opens the valves is fine.

the real answer is what do you want, max power, drive-abilty or just a lumpy idle and you dont care...

because something as simple as a ls6 cam has some decent idle lump...

i would reccomend a ls9 cam but that has nearly a stock idle.

its a cheap item and easy swap on a ls3.

Im looking for more of a lumpy idle cam then a max power cam.

Am I safe to stay with the 231/236?

Just try what you already have, you pretty much answered your own question.
If your not looking for max power, just something that runs good and sounds great, then just stay with that cam and spend the money on something else.
Heck, you might be surprised on how well it runs.

If you like the sound of your current cam, and how it runs out of boost stick with it. What LSA is it on?

Yikes!!! That's pretty low LSA. BUT the specs are pretty similar to the Speed Inc. TU2 Turbo Cam. that runs $379 for the custom grind.
http://www.speedinc.com/saleitem.cfm Their cams are about halfway down.

TU2 236 236 .587 .587 112.5

I'd say run what you have too and see how you like it. You can always change it out later if you aren't happy with the total power.

So who has told you this, and has the engine actually been run or tuned yet ?

If everything is already bolted together and running it would be sheer lunacy to rip it apart for a cam swap without trying it first.

And with relatively small turbos and low boost, there really isnt any need to worry about the LSA of your cam. Stick with it, it will work fine.

I wouldn't sweat it should work fine.

Im sure that if you are running a twin turbo LS3, you have enough money to do a cam swap. And cam swaps are too easy on these motors to leave the wrong one in there for your new setup. With all that being said, I would get ahold of Speedinc, VA Speed, or somebody else with some high HP twin turbo LS3 sense and have them spec one out for you.
