It sounds fine for the range you are talking about. What are you changing?

this is for a turbo car right? your cam sounds similar to a blower cam but i think people run good numbers on turbos with them also. call cam motion and see what they recommend. i would bump up the intake lift on it a little though. sound like a good set of heads you are upgrading to. maybe more will chime in.

Cam Motion will undoubtably recommend a reverse-split cam that will undoubtably make less power than the one you have.

Did you mention what turbo you're running?
