turbo cam in N/A motor? Are there any major drawbacks to using a reverse dual pattern cam for a turbo app in a N/A motor? I am going turbo in the coming months and I need a cam and only want to buy one. (Quite expensive..). The cam I am considering is a comp xtreme 242 int @.050 .610 lift and 240 exh .609 lift exh. The heads and bottom end are stock. I will eventually use a set of pocket ported 6.0 heads and good rods and pistons and a single plane for fuel injection to go 7200 rpm at 15 psi.
Anyway what do you guys think about using this cam N/A for now?
Thanks

No this is going to be street driven as well as raced...the turbo that I have now is a junk yard 65mm but coming soon is a t88...and more cubes. If I can make 400 rwhp
N/A with this cam then I will run it.
The 65mm will serve as proxy to fabricate the setup. I can save so much dough by building the hotpipes and intercooler ducting myself.
Most of the cash will be put towards the fuel system and intake....

Yeah it should be a fun crazy ride!
