Does anyone know the Speed-Pro or Melling part number for a stock turbo replacement cam?
 
Being a curious person, I looked up the specs on that Melling part number, and it does not appear to a turbo application?

After 30 years, many aftermarket suppliers label many parts as a fit-all "generic" replacement, not really an exact replacement.

Most turbo Buick engines from the beginning years ago used the 206/206 grind cam as a stock replacement, and at least you would be assured that you receive a cam for a turbo application.

This is still the most common cam we use for stock rebuilds.
 
The stock cam is tiny and there is close to stock replacement lobes available in the comp catalog

Rc rebuilt my motor back in 05, I asked him to do it close to stock as possible he suggested the above part#cs1112r from TRW or speed pro believe its a194/204, researched that cam extensively seems to have done well for people here that have used it there's actually an old school thread on here or tb's.com some one ran it through some computer program vs its big brother 204/214 and maybe a couple others and it came out with highest average HP and torque... You guys know more than me I'm stuck in the past but I don't mind

It makes sense .. When I had my engine rebuilt about in 2004 and still going ... I didn't have the money to go to GN specialist so I had a local machine shop and engine builders do my engine to stock but with a little head porting. I believe they used all Melling parts if I remember correctly . And I'm thinking the "stock cam" that they put in my car wasn't for a turbo application ? Who knows . I mean the car has lasted this long . Not a high horsepower car but I'm trying to get there .
