Default TREX in a turbo car
So I figured TREX was not a good choice for a turbo car, but before I sell it, I would like some input on how it would work if a turbo was on the car.

Specs on TREXv2 are as follows

242/248@050 .608/.612 110 LSA

If I can keep the cam, and it will still make good power, then thats fine with me, but if its just totally f'ing wrong for a turbo car, then I will go ahead and sell it and get a new cam.

It will work, you just wont make as much power as you could with something else. You will be able to run a little bit more boost to make up for it though. I would try it at least. I am, not with the trex cam but with something bigger. We'll see how it goes. When are you gonna have the turbo in if you keep the cam? I would like to know how it runs.

You should call Terry @ Cam Motion and kick it around.
