Mind sharing some info on the cam?

What makes that cam more turbo-friendly than your old one, and what was the old one's specs?

Don’t need near the duration on exh as before and wanted my EVC before TDC. Old cams EVC was 2 after TDC. With a turbo exh back pressure is much higher so that has to be taken into consideration. Also a positive displacement blower needs all the cam it can get to help make top end power. Turbo does not care nearly as much.

Old was 230/242 .615/.604 115+4

You want the cam to complement the power Adder. With a positive displacement blower spec the cam for top end to make up for the shortcomings of the compressor, with a centrifugal supercharger you can get more aggressive off the bottom end as the supercharger is way more efficient on top end. Generally speaking a turbo cam will be closer to a NA Cam.
