Is this a good boost cam? Attached is the cam card for the cam that was installed in my motor before i bought it. Specs aren't too far off from some turbo cams i have seen, but the intake lift is pretty large.
It would be ran in an LS1 (possibly with a 4" stroker crank), and a 78/75 turbonetics front mount turbo setup, and I am at high elevation.

Unless it's going to cause ptv clearance issues, more lift is seldom a bad thing. And even then, you can always flycut your pistons.
You don't see many forward split cams for the LSx these days, but I have always seen them (forward split cams, that is) associated with turbo applications.
Run with it, see how it goes. You already have it.

I have already ran it I don't have anything else to compare it too as that is all i have ran with the turbo, but right now i have the engine out to rebuild. I had no idea what was in it before, so got the cam card from comp cams. I was thinking i would be better off to swap the cam while the motor is out of the car, but I was surprised by the specs of the cam to be fairly close to what i need.
Seems like most prefer cams with more exhaust duration with turbos...
