It would work with a turbo, but dont think it would work all that great for making low end TQ.

Rem Turbos have a whole bunch of pressure in the Exhaust pre turbo.

That cam was designed for a SC that needs the exhaust to breath.

Why is the ls9 cam so popular these days, there are so many better cams for any application.

cause its cheap... LING has it for $130..

It would do good for a cheap blower cam.. but i dont see it a good turbo cam since the pressure in the exhaust is greater than the intake side pressure, exhaust being forced back into the CC.


a non split like the triple 12 seems to work perfect.

I say the isky 210 or 212!

My isky 215/112 made a big improvement over my EPP blower cam (232/240) and that's that I had a massive exhaust leak on the front primary of the header log!

Well when I get a new truck I'll be going with one and copying your turbo setup. Tired of being a guinea pig for ****, going to go with what's proven from people I know want the same type of vehicle as me. Now if only I could find a vmax exactly like I want it'd be sitting in the driveway

Right. Smogability....

Do you think the truck would pass Cali smog with the Isky 210 or 212?
