Going down the turbo road now from my previous F1-A build and I am wondering if its going to be worth swapping my brute speed cam out for a LJMS turbo cam. Is it going to make a big difference or will the power/responsiveness be pretty similar between the two. Im leaning towards the side of not being worth it but I figured to double check since the timing cover will already be off.

Motor is a 370 with 317's turbo is going to be a s480 with 88-96mm wheel and 1.10ish ar through a t56

Yes, it'll be worth it, especially since cams aren't that expensive when it comes to gains/dollar.

Turbo cams are a lot different than blower cams. I'm not sure on the specs of the Brute Speed cam but the amount of cam overlap and exhaust valve events can make or break a turbo setup.

Just looked on Brutes site and they are calling it an FI cam not specifically a blower cam anymore. Not sure if the specs have changed over the years but here they are:

Brute Speed cam:
Dur @ .050 232 int 240 exh
Lift .595 int .608 exh
Lobe Sep 115.0

LJMS Stage 4 cam
234/239
.612"/.610"
115+5

No, it hasn't changed over the years. The first vehicle we ever used it in a for a C5 Z06 Corvette that we had installed a twin turbo kit on. The owner wanted a turbo friendly cam that had a great sounding idle. It worked very well in his Corvette, it made a lot of power. Next we tried it with a car with a ProCharger and we were amazed at how well it worked. We then proceeded to use it in countless ProCharger installs and it always impressed us. Bob
