Default cam lsa

I want to know for cam on N/a engine and later do turboed which is good to have number of LSA. I still think about 212/218 But want to find right LSA for n/a and turbo. Which I not have to swap other cam when I get turbo. I can see alot people like run ls6 cam out from corvette as well.

iirc turbo's like bigger LSA's like 115 or something like that. N/A we go for lower LSA for the sound and lower end power.

You want a high number(less overlap) for turbo and blower set ups, lower number(more overlap) for NA set ups... Unless you want to do a cam swap put in a cam that will work for the FI now or on a LSA that will work with it when you do....

I believe turbo's and Superchargers like less overlap... LSA+Duration contribute to overlap...

You'll want to keep it at 114 or higher.

I spoke to Texas-Speed. They offer me to run 212/218 But I forget LSA number. Either on 114LSA would be good on N/A then later do turbo. Do I have to change cam for LSA to match turbo. What size z06 cam is? I think 212/218 would make better power than z06 cam. I do tow sometimes. This is drive daily, and street/strip. WHat number LSA can do both? I want it sounds better lope but as hard CHOP idle which I would not want that.
