Default Turbo cam good for N/A too?

May go ahead and get the cam now since the Trucker is going to be small for the 408. I was looking at the cam that TurboBerserker has in his sig, 236/230 on a 115 lsa, I dunno what lift it is, I think somewhere around .600. Will a good turbo cam work well on my temporary N/A setup too? I would imagine it would be better than the 216/224 that I was planning on using.

Yeah, there are lots of reverse split cams that people run NA. It shouldn't be a problem to run that cam NA for a while. You going to have headers and good exhaust? That will help out with that cam.

Yeah, it will work fine for a temp NA cam. It is at .60x/.600 on lift.

Why not. That is exactly what I would do to save on doing the cam swap later.

Ok ok I'm gonna do it all now. TurboBerserker - where did you get that cam? MFG and model? Have you been happy with it?

Yes for turbo in the future - about 15 psi probably.

I have Pacesetter LT's and ORY planned for exhaust mated to a Corsa cat-back. I think I'll be good for exhaust.

And yes Cody, I'm going to do heads now too Happy??

I dont know about you man, but Im about tired of working on my **** and Im sure you are too. Heads swaps in the truck are just a major PITA, I know you know what you are getting into, good luck.

Looks like we may have a battle for the fastest ecsb Z71 shortly
