I've been kicking around the idea of a turbo for a while still not sure, but if i did how much bloost would i lose with my cam.


could i run higher boost to compensate?

oh yeah i do know i would have change heads to lower the compresion

First off, a large cam does not "bleed off boost" with a turbocharger. The 2x higher exhaust backpressure prevents that from happening.

Secondly, with a turbocharger, you set the boost pressure using the wastegate and boost controller. So, if you set it for 6 psi, then it stays at 6 psi no matter what cam.

Third, when asking a question about a cam, it would be nice if you give the cam spec's.

its the tsp 228r 228/228 588/588 114lsa on xe-r lobes, just wondering how well it would work on a turbo setup

engineermike

It will work fine.

I just bought that cam. Maybe I should do some forced air

Na, that's a little to much for me

That cam will work fine. I'm boosting with a large cam and it still makes crazy power.

The size of the cam doesn't concern me it is the aggressive lobe profiles.

Why would the agressive lobe profile bother you? You put in the right springs with the cam, right?
