You say you have a Turbo.. You want something with alot of Lift and Duration so you can flow all of that air in your Motor. Lift is how much your Valves move, and Duration is how long they are open for, so that's why you want high numbers in both.

I agree. No way Comp didn't have what you needed. Maybe what you THINK you need, and what you actually need are two different things?

That would be a good post for almost EVERY cam thread.

go ahead and talk to the guys at comp, they are very helpfull on giving you the right cam. i even talk to more then one guy to get other opinions. customs are a little bit more pricey but wlel worthit.
