I don't know a whole lot about turbos but I do know that cam will not work with a turbo, that 110 lsa is way to tight and will bleed off alot of boost and you will and up with alot of lag. You're gonna want a cam with at least 116 lsa and duration in the 220's for intake and exhaust to make the most from the turbo.

We have installed a Comp camshaft that we had specially ground, on many of our customer's car that have forced induction. The spec's are 232/240 at .050 .595/.608 lift with a 115 lope separation. This cam works very well for us in forced induction applications, and yet it will still give the engine a lopey idle. This is the same camshaft profile we used in the twin turbo Corvette that we built earlier this year, and the STS turbo camaro SS. Bob

How would you rate this to the GT2-3???
Is your grind better off for a turbo vs blower.

The GT2-3 camshaft is much milder, and probably would give you more hp and tq through the low and mid ranges, however, the GT2-3 has no lope to it, what so ever... If you want a cam that has a great sounding lope to it that will also be blower friendly, than this cam fits the bill perfectly! Bob

does that cam with that high of lift take away from the turbo doing the work because i heard that if the lift is that high for a 346. you can damage the motor easier. however i am looking for a cam like that for my car as well! please let me know
