lt1 turbo cam

Is this a good turbo cam for a lt1 355 15psi of boost plan to run
232/240 at .050 .595/.608 lift with a 115 lope separation Also would this cam sound aggressive

that cam should lope pretty good. You may want to rethink your cam choice... large duration + rearmount... its gonna feel soggy down low.

Would that cam be a better cam for my turbo then my current cam which is the lt4 hotcam??? Or would It be about the same.

Yea, Realquick is right. That cam is too big for a rear-mount for 2 reasons. 1 it will be very soggy and non-responsive. 2 it has too much overlap for the amount of backpressure the rear-mount has. If you want that cam, then buy a PT88 turbo kit from Realquick. That cam is even too big for front-mount T76 setups. IMO, the HOTcam is even too big for a rear-mount. You might consider the Crane 210/224.

What about the GM 847 cam in a 383 with Real Quicks T76 header kit?

it will make plenty of power, but its not ideal. if you can deal with the manners of the cam, then it should be ok. i'd go with something with alot less overlap though personally.

It's so close to the 232/240 in the original post, my comments still apply.
