Smile Nitrous/Turbo cam

I'd like to replace my stock cam, ONCE!!! Down the road, I 'may' purchase a turbocharger (sts, if trials are good) or NOS (probably 5177 kit). I'll replace my cam before that. Is there a cam that's suitable for both? Unlike some of you mad-scientists, I don't want to go messing around in there more than once. Thanks for your input.

Replace the cam when you decide.

Both of those cams are completely different.

They both also depend on alot of things.

On a turbo cam if you can balance the backpressure of the exhaust manifold with the boost pressure than you have a different cam from one that's unbalanced. Usually it's a smaller than normal camshaft vs a NA application.

A N2O cam usually likes more duration so he small turbo cam is not even close. That and a N2O cam likes alot of advance most times too.

Now you also want a NA cam on top of that, again big difference.

A N2O cam and a NA cam can be very close so that's not a bad idea.

hold off till you decide on power adder.
like said befor N2O/NA like bigger cams, and turbos would benifit more with a set of good heads, but a small rev split cam would prob be best.
