It's good to know that there's always at least two better cams out there than the one you spec'd for my truck. Even if the one I got was my third choice, it's still your first your choice. Which means there's still two better cams out there. That rational is jacked.

Seriously, you can't make any blanket statements about cams and turbos. There's no one size fits all. Everybody has different needs, wants and goals. As such there are always compramises to be made in design.

I think you are miss understanding what I am saying. Even if I spec'd your first cam, you could have a whole difference approach to what you want after working with it. Most people dont get the idea that you will wind up going through a few combinations to get where you want.

HAWK is right about trying stuff and learning. After 6 different set-ups I am just now getting close to finding a keeper. This website has helped alot but I'd have more money had I never found it.
