try the one you have in your sig. I reused my sc cam and it works well. I am afraid to change anything for fear of slowing it down.

I tried a forward split and a reverse split. I think you'd like a reverse split better -- I do.

My cam: 236/230 .600/.600 115lsa.

I was wondering about this the other day. In the boosted how to section stickied the article stated that your turbo cam's lift should be 10% higher than where the head makes the most flow. It expalins about using the valve opening as well as a the valve closing to pack as much as possible in the cylinder. If this is true then a high lift .610-.630 cam should be used with a head that reaches peak flow in the .580's... Am i on target with this? I am getting ready to choose a cam here soon and the LSA is done and the duration is still a sketchy but I will settle for this conversation first. I am building a max effort car for the track.
