Question about turbo cam
#2
It will work. Not sure how ideal it is. Cams are a very specific item. Its not like picking headers that are just going to give you more power through less restriction. Cams will decide how your car sounds, performs, and runs on boost. Many have different opinions on what they like for these variables. If you just want to see if the cam will work, it will. If you want a cam specific towards YOUR goals and needs ask a pro like cam motion, Lloyd Elliot, Lil John or you can start a thread here and you'll get many opinions.

I guess to start, you'll need to be more specific. What do you want? One that sounds thumpy? One that makes the most power? A cam that drives really nice? One that helps the turbo spool more quickly? A cheap off the shelf cam? You won't find one cam that will do it all. You are going to need to decide your priority out of the cam and what you want most, then I can give you my recommendation. I am no professional, I don't do this for a living (although I do have experience). There are professionals I mentioned earlier that can make a better reccomendation than you'll find from random members here, but I'll be happy to give you my .02 if you give me more info.

A few parameters that will influence cam specs:
goal(s)
comp ratio
bore, stroke, rod length
cyl head details
turbo turbine size and AR
rpm range
street/strip %
not to mention running gear
etc
Maybe a pro will chime in. We can learn a lot.

Reverse split cam in a 383 with a Gt55 is a waste of time. Especially considering those look to be on LSL lobes...
Need a lot more information to offer up anything resembling something proper like Junkee said.
