Default TT setup and cam???

I imagine my current TSP 231/237 .598/.595 @ 112* lsa is not a good choice for a TT setup seeking huge numbers? Most seem to run close to stock, so I have been thinking the Z06 cam would be a good choice. Any ideas?

Call CRane, Comp and other cam grinders and ask them to spec you one. Turbo cams are very different from blower cams or NOS cams, and generally have a lot less duration. I'm not a turbo guy but I would expect durations around 220.

Try BBrannen@compcams.com I think that Brian is very responsive to emails. And yah your current cam is not going to help you with peak HP numbers.

i made good power with my last 2 custom grind. i guess about the same as most.
my old cam was a 222/216 563/563 @116 and my new set up is a bit bigger more around 230 570 114
seems to make more tq with the same boost and more power threw the rpm's.
im happy with both.
Both where a mix between everyone i talked to and what i thought. it isnt exactly what anyone said, but it works prety well.

Cool, thanks for the tip to Brian there John. And Noyzee, seems to be the case when I ask one person and the next I get two totally different answers.

Depends on the Turbo size. I think Harlan had a nasty cam (112 lsa) by Turbo Standards and made excellent power. The Z06 cam is a very good choice, however if you are going to go through the trouble of swapping cams get a custom cam or a Comp Xer cam. What size Turbos do you plan on running...a they small, medium, or large???? That is really the first question you need to consider.
