Just wondering if this would be a good cam for a turbocharged set-up ?232/240 at .050 .595/.608 lift with a 115 lope separation

 

I doubt it. I think that's too much exhaust bias. Experts can chime in ....

 

The more and more I play with an engine sim. software I found online, I notice that the cam specs dont play a huge part on power/tq peak numbers with turbo setups, rather they affect spool time, peak tq rpm and peak hp rpm. I compared a 219/219 112 cam to a 224/236 114 cam and results were very similar. I have inputed about 30 cam combos and for my own personal vehicle...

That cam will be fine for you IMO.

 

By the way, hee is a screen shot of a 383ci turbo combo with cam you are looking at buying and a LPE cam:

Last results was the 219/219 .560/.560 112LSA cam

and

Current results was the 232/240 .595/.608 115LSA

There isnt a huge amount of difference between them.

 

you dont want overlap on turbo cam beacuse of the exhaust pressure. usally ~2x the amount of boost. so if you hold the exuast open to long the gas will push back into the chamber and can cause KR or just plane loss of power from a contaminated mixture

 

That is what people always have said. However, guys like engineermike and alot of ls1 guys are running blower split (10-12 between intake and exhuast) and are getting great results.

some is okay but you don't want the exhaust valve haning open forever, plus it keeps the exhuast doing its job, spooling the turbo my cam has -12 over lap
