Default cam for turbo...

i should be ordering my KBracing front mount kit next week or so but i had a couple of questions...i have three cams to choose from for my foraged 408 im building...i have my cam in my sig with around 12k on it...i also have a 216/220 .529/.532 114LSA (I think) with around 5k on it and a brand new 220/220 with something like .563 lift? but its 112lsa...i just want to know what will work best with my new setup so i can plan accordingly...

thanks

I would stick with a smaller cam, the one you have now should be good for your setup.

With that many cubes, I'd do something in the mid-high 220s with 580 or more lift and a wide LSA.... Just to give you a general idea.

What turbo are you going with?

all of those are too small for a 408.

I think even Parish's turbo 408 cam was in the low 230s... F/I cams are a whole different ballgame... The physics are totally different
