TU1 vs. TU2 TU1 225 225 .581 .581 113
TU2 236 236 .587 .587 112.5
for a 370 motor where would these two cams make peak power at?
Also, how much power would you be giving up by going with the smaller cam?
I know you dont need a big cam for a turbo but if im giving up a bunch of power thats a problem lol.
I currently make 600rwhp with 9psi and ls6 cam, just wanting a larger cam to gain power without upping the boost, and want a "meaner" idle as well.

I have two same builds with the 370 and TU1 I plan on switching one out for a TU2 to see the difference between the two later on in the fall. I know this doesn't help now but I have been wondering also if I am leaving some on the table.

For instance, TU1 and 76GTS on stock displacement will make over 900rwhp.
Run the same 76GTS on a 408 and it will choke due to backpressure before it hits 900rwhp regardless of the cam.

Ive got a TU1 going on a AFR Headed 370 with t6 88mm deal, should I have stepped up a bit. Im sure it will be functional. But the motor isnt in the car yet and i could still make a change if needed.

I went with a TU1 and am shooting for 750whp on built 5.7 ls1 bottom end. You have a few more cubes so you might benefit from a TU2. Not sure though, call speed inc and ask. I'm sure they'll point you in the right direction.

I guess I'll call them here in a few days...I'm sure the TU1 is good for the 370 but this winter I will be going to a 390 and don't know if the extra size will need the TU2 or not.
I only want to buy it once lol
