Default Cam for a Turbo LS1

I am going to be building a new motor for my current stock Turbo LS1. I am going to do Forged pistons and rods but I am also thinking of a cam. What would be a nice moderate cam upgrade for a turbo car?

Thanks,

Kane

A reverse split cams with a 114LSA or higher seems to work with turbos.

My new twin turbo engine is going to have a 222/218 on a 115 +4, it is a twin 67 setup, this cam is supposed to be good for 800+ rwhp

I have a custom ground Cam Motion turbo cam that was run in my car for about 300 miles. 225/219 .557 .564 114. Let me know if you are interested, I am looking for $250 shipped. Give them a call and tell them your combo...if the specs that they give you are close to the cam above then drop me a line scott.allen@earthlink.net

Thanks,

Scott's cam sounds great.

When you get too big it slows down the spool-up of the turbo(s).

Turbo cams are typically smaller then SC'r cams.

I run a 230/236 SC cam but I peak at like 7000 rpms.
