I will be in the market for a camshaft soon. I have a 86 mustang coupe. lm7 5.3,th400 with brake, ptc converter,8.8 3.73s,holley HP efi. Not sure if I want twin 70s(.68 a/r) or a single ball bearing GT45r .96. I am gonna have a A2A intercooler, meth injection, and gonna run e85. Car was originally a 4cyl car. Has tubular k-member and control arms so its gonna be pretty light.

How much would I be loosing on the top end with the .81ar vs the .96? Car will be full weight. I need to pick up a new rear end for it at the moment so in your opinion 3.23 or 3.42s? Also I was told to use the Vic Jr for better low end for a full weight 6spd street car. I was considering the pro flo. I'll be giving you a call as soon as I'm ready to buy a cam ! It'll b my last purchase to make sure it fits everything I have.
I would have to say that the Pro Flo would be much better in the low end power department since it has a longer intake runner than a single plane does.

Which one? The 230/230 115?
Martin,
I am planning an LQ4 GT45 or S475 LS6 inake build. 4L80E and 3.27 rear gear in the BMW wagon ~3600 #s. Not Planning a race car just a street monster. I do need to pass idle emissions, Worst case I can buy some property in a non emission county how much power will I leave on the table with a cam that can pass idle emissions.

Hi Martin,
I am starting to get pieces together for a new build. So far I have callies rods and mahle pistons. I currently have a 200 hp shot of gas on the car now but will be going for a blower in the future. Is it possible to get a cam that will work with the gas and the blower?

hey i was wondering what you might suggest for my turbo setup
L76 block 08' (ls2 block) with 317 heads (it will not have any of the fuel cut or multi displacement stuff)
master power t76 turbo .96 a/r
ls6 intake manifold
t56 trans
only spin up to 6200-6500 rpm
10-12psi
im in the process of putting my engine together so now is the time for a cam upgrade

Hi Martin,
For this cam:
Tick Performance Turbo Stage 1 Camshaft for LS1 & LS6 Engines
226/226 | .60x"/.60x" | LSA114+3
With the exception of no split, this doesn't appear much different than some NA off the shelf cams I see that maybe have a 2 degree split, similar lift, same LSA. The +3 is of no consequence if you degree the cam.
Can you elaborate please?
Ron

I'm not quite sure what you're asking? You're correct that there are N/A cams running around that are similar in duration and LSA, but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be elaborating on particularly?
Help me out here.
What makes this a turbo cam?

Seriously though,
Softer lobe ramps, lower TDC overlap figures, the right valve events for the given combination.
Not much more to elaborate on. I could go into turbo cam theory, but that would take months to fully elaborate on.
I will say this though, that cam was designed for heavier GTO's or trucks that would be running a small T4 turbo with a 75mm or smaller turbine wheel. It is designed in that manner to have less TDC overlap, enough lift to make great power, close the intake valve early enough and open the exhaust valve late enough to make low-end torque that those combinations need.
I also have used it on F-bodies with TC76/78 turbo's and smaller MP70/76 and ON3 turbo's as well due to it's low TDC overlap figures.
Hope this helps.
That the "moniker" turbo cam is slapped on it of course!!!

After a successful tweaking of my Vette, I've fallen in love with the LS platform, and am going to replace the 498" rat motor in my Nove with a turbo L33. It will have big shoes to fill, somehow I think it may embarras the old beast.
Just learning about turbo stuff now.
Ron
I actually have a cam sitting here on the shelf that would work perfectly for your set-up. It was returned by a customer and it was a custom grind. I will sell it for our off the shelf price. I've been keeping it around hoping someone with a very similar set-up would pop up one day and take it home with them.
Specs are 226/235 .605"/.610" 115+2

just wondering how this cam would make the car sound at idle? i dont mind a little grunt to it, but def dont want it to sound like an old school big cam car also you said you would sell it for an "off the shelf price", what is that?
I also need several other things which if you have a shop, you might have laying around used or new. maybe we can work out a package price
high volume oil pump
timing chain/crank sprocket/cam sprocket
valve spring kit
ls9 head gaskets
ls2 front cover
im sure there is more thats all i can think of right now.
also, what makes this custom cam better then one of your off the shelf turbo cam's (i dont really know anything about cams)
lmk
thanks!!!!!

Martin,
Suggestions on a lq4, file fit, headstudded. ls1 intake, BW s472, 96mm exducer, 1.32 ar, t6 housing, 5 to 4" exhaust, dual nozzle meth, 91 octane, th350, i will order a custom stall after i get the cam. Holley hp dual fuel pump, 96 lb injectors. I want the cam to perform, drive good, and sound nasty!

I use this cam A LOT with that hotside the T6 BW has and 3.622" stroke engines. Works beautifully and sounds great at idle!
