sorry, got side tracked watching Seattle blow the game on the one yard line

But thank you i will definately look it up. would anything else change being that it is a mid mounted turbo? Would it be best to get a cam off the shelf or should I get one cut? I read somewhere that turbo set ups require a different kind of cam.

What you want for a mid mount and will mostly likely fit your pipes (T4 inlet, 3"vband outlet) is a Precision PT72/68. .96 a/r will be fine for there.

If you really cheap, then go with an On3 T70 with .96 a/r.

I got over 600whp out of the mp70 on a stock bottom 4.8. kb racing kit, 221/221 lunati cam. lot of guys love the triple 12 cam. s475 is overkill for 500hp. my mp70 will probably be up for sale within the month.btw

I'm good with that for a starting point before I pull the 4.8 and upgrade turbo!
