the right turbo cam i wondering if anyone knew the right turbo cam for car would be...im planing on staying with the stock motor for now. so for im going with a t70 and front mount with all the right fuel upgrades and i have 6.0 heads.. would speed inc. treet turbo cam work. i figured i put a cam in while everythings apart.
I was thinking the lingenfelter gt 2-3 was good one but now think the gt 7 is better.
I would maybe email lingenfelter and ask them. They do have a lot of experience with turbo cars after all..

I believe cam selection is dependent on how much boost you want to run. If you want to run high boost with a T70, you'll probably need a cam that has more significant overlap than the stock cam. I think the extra overlap allows for the turbo to work more efficiently, since the valves will be open longer. However the trade off is your powerband will be shifted to the right, and at low speeds, reversion becomes a problem. You can probably get away with an LS6 cam and keep the car "streetable."
I've been told there's no such thing as a turbo cam. I figure it's some fancy term for camshafts that allow for more overlap. BTW, compared to us rotary guys, you folks use some huge turbos.

What are the specs of the stock cam vs. a ZO6 cam? What makes it a good FI cam? I have a restrictive Q.M.P. kit. I was planing on using my stock LS1 cam because I want good driveability. What cam can I go with that will stiff offer great streetability and allow me to run less boost at the same power level but also won't shake the car? I'm kind of looking for an old man cam for FI.
