Turbo with hotcam??
Turbo with hotcam?? I found a hotcam for sale pretty damn cheap locally, and was wondering how you think this would work with a turbo setup. Specs are- 219/228 .525/.525 112. Has anyone tried this? Its similiar to the LS6 cam, except for the LSA.
See ive heard mixed things pertaining to the LSA of a particular cam, some say that overlap is more important than just the LSA alone, the hotcam has an overlap of ~0. Any other opinions on the matter?
From what i understand you want your intake duration bigger then your exhaust duration, unlike the hotcam. And i would try to get 114lsa or higher. I'm not saying the cam wouldn't work with the right tune. But i think you'd get better results with a different cam.
For better spool you want a 115 lsa or higher. As for the duration, you want the intake bigger than the exhaust. You want to force as much air in, because the xhaust will always be forced out at the same rate
The LS6 cam has a split similiar to the hotcam, and works very well with boost. But it does have a higher (numerically) LSA. Im still not convinced either way, anyone know for sure?

Good to hear, thanks for the info. How do lobe designs come into play? I found a reverse split 227/224 on a 114 with XER lobes, I thought I read that softer lobes are ideal for FI?
