Default Adding to the slew of Cam threads :)

Figured id add to the slew of Cam? Threads, lol. whats ur thoughts?

Has anybody used this cam, if so, Do you mind saying how you liked it, It says its specd for a remote mount turbo. Just curious if there is any feed back on it, as i am finishing up my butt mounted turbo project, and was thinking a cam would be nice

reverse split? i dont know i would think something more like a 218/230 would work better to get that thing spooled. I am sure someone else will chime in.

thats does not make much sense, cause you have the boost pushing air into the engine but nothing pulling the air out so i would want a cam that has more exhaust duration to get the air out and spooling the turbo.
