Default Turbo cam Question

Which cam would be best in a C4 vette with an LQ4/T400-small single turbo/small single intercooler blowing through a single 4 bbl.?:

1-Futral-F7-114 FMS Custom Grind Camshaft - 224"/230" .588"/.595" 114LSA - aggressive profile with a 1800-6800 RPM range, fair idle, recommended for blower/nitrous applications
OR
2-02 plus ZO6 cam

Thanks- Dominic

well since you are going turbo and not a blower i would get the zo6 cam....the other cam is a blower cam wich has a bigger exhaust duration...and in general a turbo cam likes big intake and smaller exhaust duration.

I agree the Z06 cam should work well for you. Although it is interesting the Z06 cams do well with a turbo since they have quite a bit more exhaust duration than intake.

i don't know much about the z06 cam but it probly has just the right amount of overlap or the ramp rate on the lobes is just right for a turbo or somthing.

I am not sure why it works well either, I was just making the comment. I would not mind plugging the specs into the valve events sheet J-rod made up to see what it looks like sometime.
