I need a good recommendation on a decent turbo cam. Thanks

What's your goal? There's some good power to be had with a Brian Tooley Turbo cam. Stage 1 or 2 for nice driveability but some power gain, Stage 3 or 4 for mo' power but gets a little rocky low RPMs. That's all I can speak to. Heard there's plenty of custom grinds around that will do the job. But, a cam really isn't necessary to make the power, unless you're looking for the BIG numbers.

TXMDE · 02-02-2016, 06:32 PM

I just want to hit 700hp mark and get into the 10's. I do want some lope. I currently have the nightfury cam but am going single turbo. Im not sure how well that combo would work.

Night Fury matches up nicely with a single turbo. I'd keep the NF.

If your dead set on changing your cam, from the NF. Then I would call Brian Tooley up and talk to them about what your goals are, and let them spec you a cam. Or not just Brian Tooley, there are a few other places that can recommend a cam, ADM, and FSP off the top of my head, I am sure would be happy to sell you one of their custom grind cams.

The thing with turbos is, all you really need to do to make more power is turn up the boost, you really don't need a cam at all to do that. Unless you want the chop of a cam. That was what I wanted out of my car.

Depends on the kit, turbo, AR, downpipe. The more restrictive the exhaust side is, the more the overlap will hurt you. The less efficient a turbo setup, the more a cam matters.
