That looks like a good one. You want more exhaust duration and lift, and pretty sharp ramp rates, without a lot of overlap. You will be able to get the air anf fuel in there. You just need to make sure it doesn't wind up blowing right out your exhaust valve.

I have the STS Turbo kit also and a 370 setup with a 220/224 581 115. APE says that has made them great power.

Post this is in the Turbo and S/C section. Maybe my memory is off, but I recall that some people use small reverse splits for their turbos.

As they should! Heck, this is about the only application the "Old Man Cam" makes sense in.
