Stock Cam profile or something different
Hey guys, i'm sending my cam away today to get freshened up. Was just thinking whether or not you guys think I should stick too the stock profile or get something different for the turbo appl?

Hey guys, My plans for the car are the same as i'm sure most of yours.
This summer run the stage 1 and next summer intercooler and MegaSquirt and more boost.
The motor now has a mls gasket, 255 pump and 42lbs injectors.
As far as hp goals. I mean i'd like to be making 400-450 after the MS and +boost but we'll see if it happens.
So with this in mind what do you guys think I should tell the machine shop working on the cam?

Id say cam it like a Schrick 282. Those are really 272 cam(see the cam profile thread) and is a great balance between low end torque and top end power. You can either buy a 282 or have your shop regrind somthing to those specs.
The 282 will give you just about equal torque/hp #s. That makes for a well balanced power curve. The stock cam really falls down after 5k. See Todds 733i dyno chart in this forum with a 272 and head work, its a thing of beauty.
