Another turbo cam question Building my first turbo car so will probably have a bunch of dumb questions. Goal with the car is upset my multi generation Mopar family by having a "junk Chevy" that runs 9s and I can take out on the weekends. So far I have a billet S480, 4l80e trans with a 3600 stall and putting together a forged 370 now. Planning on running e85 and about 10 to 1 compression.
Question is I have a Tick performance Street Heat Stage 2 cam (231/238 | .61x”/.58x” | LSA113+3) from my old NA set up. And was planning on just running that with my turbo set up, but wanted to ask for opinions of running it with boost while I still have the engine on a stand.
Thanks for any input and am very open to suggestions on the rest of the build also

Thats a decent turbo cam in my opinion. As martin said, alot of overlap. Would be better with a larger LSA. But its pretty aggressive and you may have some low rpm driveability issues. A good tune can resolve most of that though.

great info and always the why not try what you have and see if it makes enough to satisfy that itch! X4 Run it, it has duration favoring exhaust and with a proper tune as mentioned by Roastin240 it will be a driver... what will you be using for engine management?

Thanks for the input guys I appreciate it, and thanks Martin for always being willing to help out. I think I'll just run this one since I've already got it, then can always swap it out later. I really enjoyed the cam on my NA set up, had a ton of torque down low and drove really nice for how aggressive it sounded at idol.
And I've been tuning the car with hptuners, but have been really been looking at ms3 megasquirt setup. The flex fuel capabilities are probably the biggest draw for me on that. E85 is kinda hard to find out here. And I've just never used anything but factory computer so thought it would be fun to play with.
