thanks for all the input guys, i got up with my uncle and he sends his car to mike murillo in texas. i called them and the word i got was that i would need to order a custom cam or run my stock cam. im going to run my stock cam for now but i am really lookin into the f-cam. thanks guys for your help

You will want a cam with little overlap and a good amount of duration. Ideally, you will need to get a custom cam matched to your setup.

All that loping is letting boost out of the cylinders; and boost is what makes the horsepower.

The most desirable off the shelf cam with some chop to it is the F-cam.

IMO it is the best all around off the shelf cam that you can buy; it runs good N/A, it loves nitrous and goes great with boost.

Kinda, with a turbo car, you want the exhaust valves to be open longer, allowing more gas to spool the turbo.

Your only going to push what's in the cylinder. Intake is just as important.

I know some DSM guys on a tight budget will actually take the intake cam, and put it in place of the exhaust cam. And, they see gains with that.

i talked with my turbo guy in louisiana, he said my best bet for now is to run the stock cam and see where i'm at. then go from there. with my stock cam ill be at 390 to 400 rwhp with 8psi, running a 60mm. i was looking up on some other forums and the had some guys running the same setup and doin 11's in the quarter and still driving it on the street with no problems

If you decide you'd like to try a custom cam for your setup just give me a call. We've done a few Ford cams in the last few weeks with some very happy customers. One went in a 418ci stroker street engine, it's a tire smoker for sure.
