Which Turbo Cam and Why? Ok here is the deal. I am picking my long block up on the 7th and need to know if I should go with the one I bought or the one thats already installed in the long block.
One thats in the long block
231/226 601/591 115 lsa
Custom HPE Cam that is unused sitting in a unopened box
232/242 595/610 115 lsa
Ok keep in mind I am building my car for 700rwhp + my motor is forged with all the fixings and stock bore size.
If I do not use the HPE cam I will sale it.

i made 703/747 with that first cam you have on an incon kit. My honest and uneducated opinion is that at your hp goal...a cam swap is not going to be worth the time or money. Hopefully the smart guys will chime in
Just running the overlap #s it looks like the 2nd cam wouldn't be optimal in a turbo setup anyway. It has 7 degrees of overlap which seems a little much to me for a turbo cam. I know Jose @ Forcedinductions.com recommends overlap of -8 to +2 degrees depending on header/manifold efficiency. (Farther negative for more restrictive setups like log manifolds.) Looks more like a nice blower cam to me! I would keep the first but never the HPE cam in a turbo setup. Maybe in a full race app with huge turbo and huge headers.
However I am no cam expert. I am running the Speed Inc turbo cam because it has a nice idle sound and is proven to make insane power in a variety of turbo setups.
