Question Whats a good turbo cam for my LQ4 turbo street build? Opinions needed

Before posting I did search alot of threads for some info.

I am doing a build over the winter and I am kinda on the fence about changing out the cams. Looking to get the power and torque in the lower rpm for the street on a 76mm turbo on E85. I was looking at doing a custom cam, 231/239 114 LSA or a Comp 227/235 113 LSA.

Which cam would be great for this or any other different one's out there?

Thanks

For a "street" build I would think a stockish cam would do great as they typically produce more tq. The LS6 cam I'm running even loses alot of tq down low compared to a stock 5.3/6.0 cam. Tall tires, high gears like tq IMO.

With choosing those 2 cams you posted, you have to take into account what intake and heads you are running plus the turbo plays a role in cam selection too. Just like many have posted here, get in touch with Martin@Tick, Geoff@EPS, PatG, or John@lil john motorsports and give them the info they need to get you a cam that will perform well throughout the rpm range and spool the turbo you are using.
