Default Large duration turbo cam.

So yesterday I went and bought a GT47r, two Tial v44 wastegates and a Tial BOV for my GTO. This is going to be going along with a 370 with cnc'd L92/L76 to help get more cfm through the motor out of boost. But, I'm pretty concerned I'm going to have "supra lag" with a 1.01 a/r with a T6 flange so I want to toss a big cam in there to make it a little better.

I've seen a couple blower cams on here that are 21x/23x .55x/.55x 116, is there anything maybe a bit larger than that or am I looking at having a custom cam specd out and ground?

I don't think you'll have too much of an issue with lag...the 1.0x A/R you have on a smallish GT47 turbine should spool rather quick on a 370...you probably won't want to build something that revs too high due to the smallish turbine (and small A/R) and backpressure issues

Cool, was hoping you'd answer to this. So if the 1.01 a/r is smallish what did you wind up getting? I originally went in to my friends shop wanting a 1.1X and he talked me into the 1.01. I was hoping power wouldn't fall off too quickly and pull hard all the way to redline. I can't say I'm horribly concerned with lag, as long as I'm in full boost by 3800-4000rpm. I just don't want it to be a 1500 rpm power band.

You probably have a 1.08. they offered them in .96, 1.08, 1.23. and 1.39.

I don't have a GT47 anymore...sold it

you should be to full boost well before 4K rpm with the 1.08.

I'm not sure what housing it was he showed me. It was T6 twin scroll entry and it was for sure 1.01 a/r. 5" outlet that he has machied down to 4" vband flange.

I think those heads are way to big for your setup!
Have you done any research on that combo with a relatively small CI motor?

Im not trying to get off topic here but your cam needs to work with the heads...

you need to have a custom grind man,several things dictate cam size,cid,comp,head flow,turbo size,what your using the car for etc.
i do a ton of turbo cams,send me your car nad engine specs and i can help you out.And i would go bigger on the turbine housing for a 370
