F13 cam+boost? Also sts ?'s Got an ls1 T/A that's getting boosted soon(nothing harsh for now just an sts at 5 or so psi). Not a newb to boost I owned an 11 second gn for 5 years and I miss the whistle somethin' fierce!
One thing I'm wondering about is how does this cam handle boost or will it really matter at that boost level?
Also is there one place that is recommended for buying the kit from? About the cheapest I have found it is 3900 or so.

FM-F13-112-FMS Custom Grind Camshaft - 230"/232" .642"/.612" 112LSA - aggressive profile with a 2500-6800 RPM range, rough idle $399.00
FM-F13-114-HIGHLIFT FMS Custom Grind Camshaft - 230"/232" .642"/.618" 114LSA - aggressive profile with a 2500-6800 RPM range, rough idle
I'm guessing you have one of these F13 cams. This cam doesn't look optimal for a turbo application, even less optimal if you have the 112 LSA version. The lower 112 LSA will bleed of a little bit of boost. The lift is also kind of high, but you can still make good power with this cam on 5 lbs. The car would probably perform better across the entire RPM range with a more turbo friendly cam.
