it would help to know what kind of blower you have (turbo? centri?).... But as a rule cams of almost any sort work damn good on FI applications.

He's got a single turbo off ebay. It will work, it will bleed off some boost, but will work fine.

its the PTK clone turbo kit (from ebay) and am looking for 500rwhp or 8lbs of boost whatever one comes first

i am making 566rwhp at 8-9 PSI with a cam of about that size, so just stick the thing in there and be happy. besides the cams sound cool.

in your sig it says "the wrong cam".. may i ask why???

LSA seems a little low...Too much overlap bleeds some boost...

Many would recommend at least a 114 probably. I myself run a 116.

It's a good size and will make more power, but that lsa is low. You can always try it and if you don't like it change later on down the road or sell/trade it.

Thats some damn good power for a stock motor and 8psi.

It may not show as much boost as a cam with zero overlap, but with a blower you have some of the airflow (as you say bleeding off boost) that clears the cylinder. This is a common misconception, just about any cam will work with a centri.

Since turbos have backpressure it needs to spec'd a tad different.

My cam is "wrong" because some people might say its to big for a blower car... but it seems to work good for me and it was cheep. There a probably better cams, but its a cost vs. performance thing.... if you already have the thing put it in, it will def. make more power than a stock one.

500+ cars on street tires are really kinda silly anyways..... If one cam is down 15rwhp vs. another is it really a big deal?

Jake@EPP

I dont see anything wrong, it makes good power for what it is. Dont listen to bench racers lol, take that thing to the track and run it.
