Default Turbo cams.

What cam works best in turbo setup's isn't brought up very often in this section. I was wondering what most use for their setup and why you ordered the cam you have?
Seems like some like a large triditional split while other run a reverse split cam. Lets hear what you got and if it works.

225/225 .581 .581 on a 113lsa Works pretty good i think. Speed said if i went to big then id build boost to fast since i run a 6sp so they reccommended their street turbo cam

I just orderd a fairly large cam from EPP, it should have been here fri but i am yet to recieve it. It is the same cam they used on a ttvette that made over 750rwhp i believe, but since ls1.com is down right now i cant look up the post and get the specs. I will let you know as soon as i find out.

and you dont want too low of an lsa cause itll bleed off boost at high rpms....unless your CR is too high then itll help.

Cable, what longblock do you have? Did you dyno with Meth?

Back to topic, Terry @ Cam Motion typically reccomends smaller turbo cams, when you compare to say a supercharger cam.

Yeah, I went over the whole setup, and I dont want to be shifting much past 6200.
I think the cam is pretty well matched to my setup all in all. I think hte power will be attainable at around 15psi. If not then more. Honelsty im going to run it up as high as I can safely on pump gas. once I run out of fuel im going ot come down a bit. if its 500rwhp, then so be it.

I really think it will be significantally higher than that

TTSSZ....I dont think it will pick up anything until i figure out how to get off the line better. This was on 15.5 psi of boost. I wonder what your S2 turbos would make?!!!!
