Turbo Guys come on in! Pick a cam, its for a 408, GTS80 front mount.
8.5 CR, ported 6.0 heads, LS6 manifold, and its 95%+ street car
I already have either to install, obviously not trying to get the 'BEST' b/c I know that would be to get a custom grind. I have already spent enough money
This exact combo was ran with the smaller of the 2 and worked great but my thoughts were that its too small for the motor and the larger one would better suit the combo?????? Than again, many use something like the LS6 cam for turbo's. Help please

Me personally think the duration is still a little small for the turbo size and ci.
I have only a 377ci with a 240 duration. Keep in mind the longer the duration the more air flow come's in and exhaust flow exit's,which will help in the spooling,I think? Work's good for me though. I am sure other guy's with more cam experience will chime in.
I just read you already have the cam's so I would go with the bigger one of the 2.

Interesting but I was always under the impression that you wanted to have a wider LSA in boosted applications and not always bigger is better in terms of duration.
I have a buddy that has a 232/242 .580/.590 113LSA, 111 centerline. Would this perform alot better than the others for my setup? I don't doubt your cars, I mean in referal to N/A the bigger cam in most cases is better especially with bigger cubes.
Turbo's among the most seem to be the hardest to choose a cam for. I was originally going to use the smallest one and decided to switch to the bigger. Now what about the above mentioned one?

My lobe seperation is a 114, but the actual cam pattern is a single pattern and not a split. The difference in my cam is in the lobe degree's. My cam was actually spec'ed out for me to go with a big supercharger.but at the last minute I decided to go turbo's,but it seem's to work well.Just keep in mind that the above mentioned one,you will get more airflow out then you will in.What head's are you using by the way?

I found a link that further supports the bigger of the 2 cams. Similar project to mine other than its a rear mount. Video inside, he's running the EPP blower cam with similar specs. 232/240 59x/60x 115 LSA

Verdad Gallardo That cam from EPP is larger than any of the 3 you have listed and has a wider lobe sep. If it was me I would call EPP and let Bob spec you out a cam for your set up. There are hundred's of different cam's that will work well for your application. If you are wanting to know which one to go with of the 2 you listed to vote on, I would go with the bigger of the 2 since there isn't that much difference in them from the info you have given on them.
