cam & intake advice I bought a '83 Mustang with turbo'd LQ4. The engine was seized when I bought but fortunately I have identical LQ4 sitting in my storage to put in but its OEM cam and truck intake. I was going to take cam and intake from popped motor and put on mine (with the springs) but I don't think it's optimal. The intake is only LS1, not even LS6 so definitely upgrading that so what is recommendation everybody thinks? I want to keep same setup on throttle and sensors, larger TB is obviously ok. I want to keep hit under flat hood so has to be shorter ram air style, have few inches to grow. The cam that it had was .228/.232 .575/.595 114+4 is what previous owner told me. I don't know much about turbo cams so need your experience here also. This is street cat but will be pushed hard, am not flycutting pistons, so that'll limit cam selection.

I would say stick with that cam and see how it does. It's pretty close to some brand name turbo cams.
