Does this cam sound reasonable for my build? I sent off a request to comp cams and this is the cam they spec'd out.
13018/3726HR116+2
Duration @ .050 231/232
Lift w/1.7 rockers .617/.595
LSA 116 degrees
Project is a 408ci, 76mm Garrett turbo with an 80mm compressor trim. (A/R .96)
Aiming to hit 1000 FWHP (Mostly driven on the street, but will see fair amount of track time)
15-20 psi boost
3500 lb car
9.3 Static Compression
TF 235cc heads
E85 fuel
3800 rpm stall
Single plane intake
3.70 9" Ford rear

Pretty small turbo for 15psi on those cubes...20 forget it.....it will spool good...Is that a 76 GTS turbo rated for 1100, or is it like most 76's rated for 800-900 flywheel? The cam looks good. Actually, it looks like a rip off of a Virginia Speed grind...ICl is not listed but I bet it's somewhere in the 110 area....

When you put some timing in the right spot and get the mixtures correct...hell yeah, that will spool...probably out of breath by 6200rpm...

GTS 76 is T4 or T6 flange? A T6 would help on those cubes with back pressure...(especialy the cam selection your looking at). If your using t4 and depending on manifold choice then even a reverse split might be in order.....
