yeah we know that cams will open it up more but we wanna see wat our turbo kit can do on its own with out the support of cams
once we have reached the limit with wat the turbo kit can do with out supporting cams we will bolt in our own cam shaft
the cam shaft which we are planing on using is a custom cam shaft made to powertune specs which is a very low duration with a huge amount of lift

Aiming for lots of low rev torque and no top end? Seems strange if you're planning to gauge improvement by drag strip times..

I think it's been well proven that a smaller turbo with a set of cams makes a better all round engine than the big turbo with standard cams setups people were playing with in the 90's :)

Apologies then, i misunderstood your purpose. It should spool up nicely with cams like that! Although i'd be interested to see if you could get the same peak power out of it.

DumHed, if that was directed at me i didn't mean that leaving the stock cams in there is better, just that low duration is generally no good for top end power.

a "huge amount of lift" will make up for that. lift is good anywhere, especially on forced induction engines. adding duration is easier and much cheaper though.
