basically each cam should be spec'd with a specific turbocharger in mind. although thats kind of splitting hairs, IMO.

I run an head matched na cam with my turbo setup and put down excellent numbers for CI and boost. Cam selection is not as important as overall package.

I am going to put a nasty so called N/A cam in it to move my power a little further up in the r.p.m. and run a stupid tall gear so I can act like I am a Supra 80 m.p.h. roll racer. Seriously you need to determine what your goal and setup will be in the interim for now or the end build.
like i said this isnt guna be a "drag car" just something making good power for a weekend drive and some shows i already have an 02 h/c ss if i need to do some racing just want something nice making decent power. suspension wise will just be lowered "some traction stuff" lol

In that case, stop worrying about the cam. You could put any cam in a turbo motor and do that.
