Default Need help with turbo cam

Anyone have any ideas on what would be a good cam for a little t-60 turbo? I want something fairly small that will still make good power. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

I need good driveability. I have ok driveability right now with my g5x2 but am sick of the not so good gas mileage. I'm looking to hit around 550/650. Or close to that on pump gas.

Call Cam Motion and give them the specs on your car and tell them your goals.

Well I already have someone that is going to sell me a 76 which I will probably swap too eventually. Right now I'm trying to get the car setup right for what it has. Powerband wise I would like to keep it close to 6200 or so, but I can rev higher, don't really want too unless necessary. Thanks for the info so far guys!

Yep, a lot of people on here are running custom cams from them with good results. They are very well respected in the FI world, especially for turbo setups.
