Will N/A cams work with a turbo engine? And the Theory
- Thread starter crrider80

I've heard that with the N/A cams that the valves don't open as much but the open for longer (longer duration).... somebody please correct me if i'm wrong.
The 7MGE intake camshaft I picked up, measured out @ 38.13mm - exactly what my turbo intake cam measured out at. The difference was about 10 degrees more duration, though. By the TSRM, two brand new cams, then yes - the turbo cam is supposed to have more lift, and less duration.
Here's some info:

Basically the NA cams will shift your power band to the right and flatten the curve at high end.
To answer your question, the NA cams will work, but you will sacrifice some high end power. You will gain some HP at lower rpm.

If you're modifying past "BPU", stick with the turbo cams.
If you're staying mostly stock, stick in the NA cams for some extra low end push.

hmmm... i thought it was the NA exhaust cam that was the cam ppl would swap over to the Turbo head.
