What cam for my turbo build? (List to choose from) Ok guys heres the deal... I have a 99 C5 and Im building a forgded 370ci/317heads with a single PTE7675 CEA turbo.
I am trying to decide on a cam. I currently have an LS9 cam. I would like to make the most power I can. Drivability does not matter to me!
I just want your opinions on which cam would be the best and why?
1) Keep the LS9 Cam 211/230 .58x 122.5 LSA
2) 224/224 .551/551 114LSA
3) 226/226, 584/.584 115 LSA
4) 224/228 58x 58x lift on a 114
OR if anybody is selling one let me know!!!!

Well the valve events are damn near all the same on those cams you listed. The LS9 is a blower cam with a very early EVO, if you want back pressure issues run the LS9. Other wise if those are your only choices all 3 of those will run almost the same so get the cheapest one.

I would run our TU1 (225/225 113) or something similar.
You will easily max out the turbo with 22x cam so anything larger would just soften up the bottom end and reduce driveability with no peak power gain.
