What about a Stealth II cam for FI Just wondering how the MTI Stealth II cam would lend itself to a turbo setup? Is anyone here running one with FI?
edit: forgot to incl specs: 224/220 .581/.581 116 LSA

hMMM Well I currently have a G5X-3 on a 112, which I know is not going to get the job done. It has a lot of exhaust overlap. I was under the impression that you wanted a reverse split cam with fi????
all i know is that camwise you dont want some god aweful high duration cam.you want a lower intake duration,slight larger exhaust duration,lift under .600 usually, and an LSA AT LEAST 114

man...maybe you should write the guy a letter....and you took some of it out of context...it says that for a street car it makes the MOST SENSE to have a car where you see boost at 1/3 of the usible rpm range.....cause you know ull see some dumbasses put like a T92 on a stock 346 because they automatically figure that bigger is always better.if you read the book cover to cover it was mostly for people who want to turbo a DD or mostly street car not some track fiend.

Ok back on track....how do you guys think a G5X-3 112 LSA, would react to boost? That's the cam I'm currently running for NA applications. I'm really looking into the phamspeed budget kit, however my current setup is definately not optimal for boost. I'm currently running a stock block with PP Stage II LS6 59cc chamber heads, and the above mentioned g5x3 cam. CR is approx 11.2:1 RWHP is 448. I also have a complete extra block sitting at the shop that I am about to build up forged 9:1. Ideally I would like to slap the budget kit on my current setup, and run mild boost 4-5 psi, while I'm building my extra bottom end. Does anyone see a problem with this? Could I see 550 rwhp with this setup?
I would not run a G5X3 with a turbo, if I could change it.
I would not turbocharge an 11:1 engine.
My current supercharger cam is 236/246//114, old one was 230/236//115. My peak rwhp was close. Which cam made more power under the curve? Which one is peakier?

It would not be a long term deal. Just while I was building up the spare block that I have here. As for not running the G5X-3, why not? It's specs are very similar to your above listed 236/246. So which of your two cams made more power under the curve? Would I be able to re-use my heads? I am going with a low compression piston setup, to offset the small chambered heads.
