Jim (aka INTMD8), though not a self-proclaimed turbo cam expert, has done more turbo cam testing than anyone I know.

His list of cams, in chronological order, are:

1. 214/222-114
2. 226/218-117
3. 224/224-113
4. 218/218-114

The 3rd cam made the most power of the bunch. He switched to the 4th one knowing he would lose power, which it did, because he wanted a better idle.

I got with W2W on mine. Their recommendation is based on your set-up and your goals. No 1 cam will fit everyone. My recommendation - W2W. They have built a "few" turbo cars.
