can i get a list off what motors and what cams people are runing with your turbo set ups and did the cam help out good, some, or none?

 

Fms 228/224 .575/.576 115+4

 

custom grind 236/230 .600/.600 115 lsa

 

any body with smaller motors.

 

5.3L with 6.0L heads

226/220-.591/.554-116 or close to that.

 

did it help or have you tested it yet. i'm trying to see if there is a point in getting a cam for my turbo or not. and trying to see what works and what sucks.

 

I didn't do a before and after test. I just stuck it in there knowing that the stock cam wouldn't work with my planned RPM range. My turbo wasn't going to make full boost till well into the 3800+ range so the stock cam was kind of a waste because it would fall off too early. I chose a cam that would allow me to shift my powerband a bit higher. In all Rick feels the cam may have been a bit too large for my setup but it's doubtful it hurt me much. The truck still ran decent for what it was. For a 4.8L I would probably go with something in the mid teens for duration but I'm no cam guru and I don't want to give bad advice

 

yeah i ask about a cam in another thread but it seems nobody agread with it so that why i'm trying to find out what people are using, and what works and what don't. perferably from experiance not just desktop dyno or just some opinion. trying for hard facts.

 

i agree from what i've read and researched so far it seems that your cam would be to big too.

 

A stock Cam works pretty damn good.Just up the boost and make sure the intake temp is cool. The Cams listed above are bigger than the one we are ussing with a 408 /T88 turbo setup.We're figuring 800hp on pump gas and 1000hp with a mix.
