My cam's a 232/242 with lots of overlap-jut like you would want one to make max power N/A. I chose this to keep the car pump gas friendly-for those that say you lose boost-can you show me where?

I saw 18-19psi all by 6200 because the fuel system wasn't keeping up-and these #'s are not lean tuned #'s either-the car was 10.8 all the way up to 6200 when it went to 11.5.
I still have 10,000 more rpm to spin this blower to, and a bigger cams to try. The #'s are through a auto BTW

I will be running the MS4 cam with mine for now, see how well it would like it, then maybe I might change to something different, I know I need to go higher on my LSA I have a 110 right now, just waiting to get the turbo in the mail now. Oh the turbo is going to be a T-67
