Turbo cam Question
No idea why guys like reverse split so much.Thought having more exhaust duration is better most of the time especially for turbos but seems you can sometimes run a cam that should on paper be horrible for boost and it does ok. Boost can compensate a lot for heads and cam shortcomings.
Thats said I like more like 220/230/580/580/117 type of cam. Normal split, not too high lift as too high lift on boost is hell on springs and valve float is not that good a thing.And bigger lsa , I don't like lope and like easy tuning with no low speed surging.I hate low speed surging!
My cam is similar spec to this one but less intake duration,maybe 590 lift with current 1.8 rockers and more lsa. Mostly as said bought a cam that had attributes was looking for above and that would not blow boost out of engine. And figured if lingenfelter used it in most all their builds it had to be fine. They now use ls9 cam which is dirt cheap but it requires other things like front cover and think sensor extention mods to work in most ls1s.
Factory z06 cams are very similar to mine also and think are plug and play..
Here is some comparison.
lingenfelter and factory z06 cam specs.
01 ZO6 cam: 204/211 .525/.525 -116 LSA
Lingenfelter GT2 205/212 .540/.540 –116.5CL
02-03 ZO6 cam: 204/218 .551/.547 -117.5 LSA
Lingenfelter GT2-3 207/220 .571/.578 –118.5CL
05-07 ZO6 cam 210/230 .561/.557 –120.5 LSA

It will still make the power, it's just a little more cam than you need. If its allready in there I would give it a try, you can allways change it later if you dont like it. Just be sure not to get the AR, and exhaust wheel too small or you will choke it up top.

yes the cam is in there already and thats pretty much what i wanted to know, if i could bolt on a turbo and have my car run without changing the cam for now, eventually planning to build bottom end and go with a cam made for boost
