Default GT2-3 a good turbo cam?

was wondering if this is a good cam to run with a turbo setup for my up and coming 408 assembly, I've got the eagle rotating assembly with -29 cc pistons, the turbo will be a front mount with the GT67 from my old sts system... help me out

Little on the small side for a 408. Im running going to be running a 224 duration cam, most of the 408 guys are in the low 230 range.

I agree, probably too small. Give the guys at Comp a call. They have been helpful in the past, thats all they do!

You can either have a lumpy idle, or a good turbo cam. You've got to choose one or the other.

It's a little small, but the problem is more in the split. You are going to want something with a bit more intake duration than exhaust. The GT2-3 would work well on a turbo setup if you were looking for low EGT's though.

I am going to run the GT2-3 cam in my 4XX CI turbo escalade motor.
