You answered your own question. Stock cam means better down low response.

For the guys talking about area under the curve, the rear mounted setup do not have as much as a front mounted most of the time. I can't see his graph but it probably looks similar to mine. It can be made a little better by playing with the a/r of the turbine housing. It's still a hell of a lot of fun though. I can't wait until my car is back up and running (waiting on my th400).
I also feel doing a large cam with most forced induction is bad idea. My car currently has a 224/224/112 .561 cam. I feel this is hurting me more than helping. I'm switching to a z06 cam on my new 370.

If I didn't post it, someone else would. I also stated the cam is hurting the setup. I know rear mount guys are protective about their setups, but look at the facts and the results for what they are. No one is saying not to do them or ...yadda..yadds. But when a 346 or bigger V8 engine has a dyno curve of a Supra, then what do you expect people to say? We deal with rear mount kits ALOT, and have a few improvements we are working on for customers. Most of them realize the facts, and are here to learn and make their setups better not just agree with the crowds.

Turbo's normally do indeed produce better low end results with a milder cam, but the camshaft we installed still produces good low end response, and sounds awesome.
This car is now seriously traction plagued, turbo spool time is very quick, I am indeed totally amazed. We plan on taking this SS to our local 1/4 mile track next Wednesday, as long as the weather cooperates. Bob

I'm going to stab my 98 cam back in there by spring(kinda sick of working on the car already), probably make more hp/tq than with the stock cam and it'll be much easier to tune

Do you mean a .60 trim or a 60-1 when you say 60 trim, completely different turbos.

Right on with the cam. We have had customer with good sucess with the Z06. Its not the BEST, but crap you can't beat less then 100 bucks for a used Z06 cam.

I need more power, I just turn the **** If I was building a boosted LS1 for myself, the Z06 cam would be in it. For the price, its hard to pass up. As well for the stock crank, and 6.0L heads and I would be happy with a 1000hp setup.
