Tu2 is way too big for a PT76GTS.

I have a max effort PT76GTS cam that I use fairly often that has a good lick to it.

What intake manifold are you running? Cylinder heads? Weight? Rear gear?

There are some of the many turbo cams I have done that I found just searching Tick Performance Turbo cam on Youtube. Most of my turbo cams have a decent lope to them, but honestly it all comes down to what turbine wheel, exhaust housing, weight of the vehicle and much much more that determines how much overlap is used in the cam profile.

Overlap is what dictates how hard the cam lopes. It's not something I design into a cam just to achieve a certain sound. It's a by-product of the proper valve events for the combination.

Huron speed T4 turbo kit with a Turbonetics 7875 and a Tick Performance LS2 Stage 2 Turbo cam.

Specs are 235/231 .610"/.598" 114+5. This cam has proven itself to make huge torque when used in a turbo application. I just had a customer with a 6.0L in a 6000lb. 4 door truck and a BWS480 make 580rwhp/690rwtq@11.5psi of boost with the same camshaft.

This is also the same camshaft that Rob Melcher has in his turbo charged red single cab truck.
