Cam Suggestions for Future Blown engine I'm looking to do the next round of mods for my car. I'm doing my upgrades little by little as I don't have a lot of mula to spend on my car. Here is what my plan is and you guys can chime in with suggestions.
I'm planning on this year getting a Cam+Springs, timing chain and ported oil pump, and clutch. Cam selection is where I need help, I'm planning next year on a Phamspeed budget single turbo with fmic. So I'm looking for a cam today that will give me a few extra ponies to tie me over and work nicely with the turbo once I get it. I know a lot of people run the GT2-3 cam and that it runs good on NA applications as well as SC/Turbo applications but I was looking for something with a bit more power. I read in an article that the GT1-1 make some good power on a N/A engine, but will it work on Turbo? it has some wicked lift numbers but it seems to have a nice LSA (229/242 .631/.631 w 1.7 rocker 114 CL) I'm not very knowledgeable on cams but it seems that I don't want anything with less that 114 LSA for a blown engine.
As far as other upgrades this year, Catback system (LM2 is sounding pretty good for the money) and offroad y. I'm keeping the stock manifolds since I'm going to need them for the turbo kit. 12 bolt hopefully I won't need until next year. See sig for current mods.
