I am going to recommend something a little different that most. I would say go TU1.5 it will be very strong and give you a very healthy sound. Keep in mind the difference between all these cams will be very small. Let's say this is a totally hypothetical the TU1 is 90% efficient and the 218/218 stock4.8 cam is 100% efficient. The difference on the dyno will be tiny and at the track even less. You can't go wrong with a decent speced cam.

My opinion is turbos really dont care that much about your cam, they are going to move the air one way or another so dont think too hard on it.

I am not a fan of the Vic jr in a driver due to heat soak. The TBSS flows for a stock intake amazing and you can always smooth out the intake with a little work. It looks real nice with a little sanding.

I agree. Currently running a triple12 cam but longing for some lope and chop. Stock48 specced me a 224/224 111lsa, 2 degrees of overlap for some turbo choppin'!
