Your trans won't like it, but depending on who built it and how it's built it may be ok for a bit. You should hit 500 whp without issue.

Cam looks good from here.

Honestly the hp depends a hell of a lot more on the rest of the combo than the cam with a turbo. That said I see no reason you won't reach or exceed your goal of 500 wheel hp with a 10# turbo set up. And the stage 1 will spool really fast. I don't think it will have huge power capability with that turbo though.

Lol. It is funny to see his turbo cam duration shorten up by 12 to 15 degrees on both lobes over the past 8 months...

He must be reading the comments around the interwebz. I've never seen a turbo cam of his be under the 230's in duration.

Be nice now. He's an expert.

It was after I saw smokeshow's TT dyno with the triple 12 that I got fed up and swapped to that cam myself.

I knew from my experience on this forum years ago when small cams were the norm that for a street vehicle they make way more power under the curve in the daily rpm range. Hot Rod mag did a test on several cams in a stock 6.0 years ago. The difference in under the curve torque between the 210/218 and even the next size up, 216/224 (still considered a baby cam in a 6.0) was staggering.

JMO, the larger the size of cam you go on a street truck, the more of a compromise it is. Yes, you will still make great power on paper, but with the smaller cam you can have your cake and eat it too.
