    What would you consider to be first on the list of a cam spec? Duration,lift, overlap, other? It would go in a car that has only been slightly modified(mine) with free flow exhaust,upgraded turbo, and cold air to carb. A 700r4 with 2200 stall. I know that a turbo works differently than n/a so I was looking for some opinions on what works for you guys and what you look for.

    I would probably say overlap. You want a cam with as little overlap as reasonably possible. If smog legality is not a problem for you, then about .450 lift and somewhere in the ballpark of 205 to 220 degrees of duration would really lite 'em up!!

    I think my cam is a bit too mild for my setup... .426 200/200

    shoulda went with the comp 212

    That's the cam I got.
    duration valve lift lobe sep
    in. ex./ @ .050 in. ex. in. ex.
    260 260 212 212 .454 .454 110deg

    Upgraded turbo???? (Bigger) you need more of a stall IMHO to over come turbo lag. 3000 stall should be good.
