Turbo cam choices ....help

well as im collecting parts for this turbo project it seems as if the camshaft has me stumped .

i do not know where or at what power level the stock slider cam willl no longer do me any good

my set up will be as follows

stock head , ported ( mild clean up ) , bowls blended and valve job .
ported exhaust manifold with a .60 / .48 t3 ( whatever psi it is capable of efficently )
ported upper and lower intake manifolds with an 94-95 t/b .

full 3 inch exhaust and elbow off the turbo ....... i want it to appear stock under the hood and put up some decent numbers .

i see the ranger roller cam is a popular choice but is it really worth it ? ..... would it be benificial to do an a237 at this level ..... or even a custom grind .

i figure the turbo wil sign off around 5500rpms ..... so lets work with an rpm range around there

any advice would be great .... or personal experience

thanks guys

With the .48 housing on your turbo, you'll be wanting a cam that helps it in the mid-range where it'll be strongest. What I'd recommend is running the ranger roller now, and later if you wanted to upgrade it'd be a fairly simple swap (that's what I did), and you can reuse the roller followers with another roller cam.

You should also look at getting an adjustable cam pulley so you can play with the cam timing.

sounds like a plan ..... RR cam and adjustable cam gear for now .... at least untill i can find / step up to a bigger turbo .

i wonder how fast i can get this .60 / .48 to go should be interesting
