I have pretty much used close to all of those already. I can tell you the pros and cons of each. The one thing I will tell you that any limitation in each camshaft or short goings is not because of the cam, its because of the location of the turbo. This is the hard part with your kit. Every cam you pick will actually work different than it would if the turbo was up front where the heat and flow is better. Dont even bother going for the bigger of the cams on your list either.

Rick

PS. Giving generic numbers @.050 like you did with nothing else about the lobe, type, lift, seat, advance, timing events, ect, does nothing for helping with cam selection.

I actually picked my cam by IVO, IVC, EVO, EVC and let the specs fall where-ever....

No advance ground into the cam....

Yes, tonight was night one of the "get my f-ing truck back together" week.

I finished installing the pistons, got the cam and chain in. Tommarrow I hope to have a head or two on....



I had to use a hammer to get the cam to go in this way.......
