Default Cam lift on FI car

Hey guys, I've not really spent much time in here , so bear with me if it's a stupid question. I've got TR's Old Man Cam. 215/220 114 .600"/.525. My searching has taught me the longer exhaust duration is a good thing for FI cars, but will the lift cause any unforseen problems? My current way of thinking is that it shouldn't matter. I won't be reving the engine any higher than 6k either way. Thanks for any input.

Whats the reasoning behind the high intake lift on that cam? I have my engine out now and was wondering if I should change cams too. I've got a 214-224.,524, .535, 114 LSA which sounds small to me. I do want to keep my 2600 stall and maybe rev to 6200-6400. I don't mean to hijack your thread but I was also wondering if my lift is too conservative.

What are you going with? Why the change? Is that the one you ran mid 10's with?

I am goin with a reverse split cam since that is what most turbos call for. This is the cam I ran mid 10s with. This cam was cut for a S/C that I was originally going to run

Well, I could spend 3 hours trying to explain all the science behind it, but I'd get it all wrong anyway, so I'll just post the link to the guy who helped TR design it! (I think anyway)
