Cam = 224/231 .595 LSA 114 cam

What do the numbers mean. It is supposed to be a turbo cam.

What A/R should I go with if using the 76 in rear mount form? I am going to go with the 76.

I like the LSA at 114, but I'd reverse that duration. I'd have to agree with Berzerker on the A/R.

Im running a T76/.96AR front mount on a 6.0l. It is a bit laggy for me, but Im at 7000' elevation. It spools really slow compaired to the T66/.81AR I had. If you mat it from a dig it will take 3-4 seconds to come on. On a 408 at low elevation it would be fine. If you are going to run 13-15psi I would go with the T76/.96AR. Under 12psi you might get away with a .81AR. Im afraid anything smaller will choke you up top, and bigger will be kinda laggy. Just my .02$.

I have bulit quite a few 408's with rear mount's . at 12lbs of boost with a T76/.96 your boarder line in the eff zone of this turbo and with out meth you'll see some high IAT's over 5300 rpm . An 88mm or a GT4202r [ thats whats on my 403 in my tbss ] will be in a very happy place on a 408 . as for spool time CAM is such a big factor . I have had very good result's with the LPE GT-7 cam it idles like stock and combined with my 3200 vig I have zero lag and have some traction issues with AWD . With a T70/.96 it made 580hp and 650 tq to all four tires on a mustang dyno at 9.5 psi . I will dyno new GT4202r this weeka nd post the results.

i am interested in how diferent cams would effect spool time. can you share any back to back cam swaps and how they efected hp and spool time?

On my 403 I have swapped between Stock ls2 cam [ 01 zo6] an 02-04 Zo6 cam , and LPE GT7 . I have done this on 4 different C-5's with rear mount's and one C6 with a rear mount what I have found is the longer the exhaust duration is the faster the turbo will spool at least 400-500 rpm sooner on my LPE gt 7 then the 02 ZO6 cam . Peak hp and Tq are 3% higher with the GT7 cam and hit sooner. This seems to work better on remote mount .

nice info. any comparisons on front mount cam swaps?

we did a swap from a stock 5.3 cam to an 01 z06 cam and gained 100rwhp at the same boost level. no spool time info though since we have a 5000+rpm stall. we got such killer results we had to ask ourselfs how much a 02+ cam would help or an aftermarket grind.

might have to do some serious cam swap dyno thrashing on our next project.
