Default Time to Upgrade!!!!

Well I had a 01 silverado with a stock bottom end Crank and rods had the block bored .30 over with a z06 cam and on3 t76 stock heads with just a valve job running 10lbs of boost on pump gas the truck went 7.50@92mph, I decided to change it up and took the motor out of the truck and dropped it in a mustang coupe foxbody same setup with a little more aggresive tune for the street and still on pump gas the car went 6.26@112 and 9.77@140. Now I want to upgrade the cam and turbo exh housing it has a .81 now I am thinking about a .96 and a different camshaft, But I stillwant it to be street friendly and A/C. What camshaft would you guys recommending? Any help would be great.

With that little turbo and those cubes, I'd go reverse split for sure. Something like a 232/224 with just with around 570-590 lift and a 114 ish LSA. Should still be a ***** cat. Not sure how much you will gain over the current cam though with that turbo as the turbo is likely maxing out way early in the power band as it is.

I was thinking If I went with the .96 housing that should help me out. I just don't know if that z06 cam is going to be good or go with abetter one. Or go with a bigger turbo?
