Best Cam for STS turbo setup?
well, customs are about the same price so like i did, I researched a lot on my combo and talked to a few different people from different companies and kinda did a happy-medium between them. It's gonna be a smaller grind than you think. Mine is a 222 .563 114 comp cam
custom grind cam. thats what i'm going to do and it will more benefit you.
there is Patrick G up here (Patrick Guerra i think) and other people. I'm going custom but going to see what I make with IC and 7psi first. still got the stock 01' cam

If you're going to insist a custom grind, then check one thing. . . If the cam rep doesn't ask you what your backpressure is, then they have no business grinding custom turbo cams. I'd be willing to bet that 4 out of 5 don't ask, or don't know to ask that question.

such a nice cam selection 
on my stock internal intercooled LS1 with 42lb SVO's and 255 in the back at 5.5-6 psi i made 503 with a 228/228 .588 .588 115LSA and 512rwtq
That's awesome, I thought of the exactly same cam but 114LSA for my A4 but wasn't sure on how it would work with a turbo system. Guess that pretty much answers my question. Whats the drivailty like?

That's just theory, though. Let me know if I'm wrong. In this case, I'd like to be wrong, because then I could upgrade my own cam. . .

we are doing a Hummer with a 408, TFS heads, Victor Jr. etc.. and we are doing a
236/232 .601 .595 114. May not be able to dyno it, but the owner wants to take it to the track at least once. It should be a site to see; '07 kindof a metallic teal color, 24" wheels, Brembo brakes, 408, 4L80, rear turbo. It should be interesting.
