bleeding off boost with this cam
bleeding off boost with this cam I've been kicking around the idea of a turbo for a while still not sure, but if i did how much bloost would i lose with my cam.

First off, a large cam does not "bleed off boost" with a turbocharger. The 2x higher exhaust backpressure prevents that from happening.
Secondly, with a turbocharger, you set the boost pressure using the wastegate and boost controller. So, if you set it for 6 psi, then it stays at 6 psi no matter what cam.
Third, when asking a question about a cam, it would be nice if you give the cam spec's.
