Default This cam for a Turbo application?
So i'm not very good with camshaft science...
I took this cam on trade(235/251 .621/.624 113),in some ways it doesn't seem that far off some of the "turbo" grinds.
It is a GTO,turbo 400/10" converter,5.3 stock long block,plan is eventually to go about 76mm single-just a fun to drive car.
Thanks
Dom

Yeah, WAY too big for a 325" engine. About 212° to 218° is all the duration I would get on a turbo 5.3.
