I know i myself have asked this and ive seen so many other threads concerning this. I dont know exactly the answer but i know its out there if u do a search. 
what makes a good turbo cam
I guess I could dig up an older thread, someone want to let me know when the search feature is working again ;-)
But seriously I know there are quite a few people out there that have been experimenting with some cam spec's.
Would any of you care to fill some of us (me) in.
mine is 244/244 612/612 115-0 lsa...I was planning for the 6sp but I have now changed to a 4sp auto so I am now wondering about this cam with the change in trans. I have yet to dyno

Haha, i didnt realize the search wasnt working... its weird tho, its never not worked for me, eventho i see so many other people say its not workin. I just talked to Jon at speed inc through e-mail on this very topic. He's gonna get me a cam speced for a 370 cu in. iron block setup for a TT setup. Ill let you know the outcome of the cam I get. I would talk to them about getting a custom grinded cam for a turbo application.
I've had it crap out completely for a day or so maybe 8 times. And a couple times where it seemed like the data was wiped out or something - no results on something simple, like "turbo". Most of the time it works great.

I've read alot on this subject, and the most I learned was from INTMD8's 4 or 5 cam changes in his twin turbo LT1.

Verdad Gallardo engineermike, how much of that info do you think can be applied to an ls1.
We know they are air pumps, but one style being more efficent than another , what do you think the out comes would be?

yes there are opinions , but as engineermike stated there is a right and a wrong. i know a lot of guys are very competitive and 
about there cams and i understand completely. but a little nudge in the right direction would be very helpfull.

From what I have read over lap hurts boost but people still make good power. And from what I have read people use stock and zo6 cams and make power. This is what I gather from cams in FI try and see

The cam you have sounds like it'll work fine. I've seen a ton of posts about turbo cams and they never end with an affirmative answer. I plan on doing some testing of my own when I finally get the motor together and running well.

i have/was been considerig twin pt88's
I can seem to fully wrap my head around turbo sizing and cams.I have a basic understanding , but its only enought to get me into trouble.
Like i said that cam 244/244 612/612 115lsa was for a maunal , but its an auto now.
Thanks all any more suggestion?
Regarding turbo size, I'm just paraphrasing a conversation I had with Brian M. from Precision Turbo at PRI.
Back to cams. I'm running a 234/114 cam. I've run a 244/114 cam six years ago when I had a 422ci NA setup. Idled okay. You could just try it or spec out the combo with someone and see what they say.
