Best Turbo/Cam Combo for the street?

[Mistaspakles]

Seeing what the best turbo/cam combo would be for me. I only plan on using pump gas @20psi max and I don't plan on going past 7K rpm's. Any thought's?
Also, would extrude-honing the intake manifold only be beneficial if I take it past 7K?

are you awd or fwd? Personally right now I am going with big16g(ported/clipped) and eventually HKS 272 cams. I also plan for mainly pump gas. That set-up I think would be a good street set-up for a fwd. Then I think I will throw a 50 shot on top of that so I could have 350whp at my disposal on pump gas(I live in cali we get 91). But I may need internal work to do that...I don't know, just an idea nothing for sure.

If you want more hp sometimes then go with Green/L2R/50 Trim Those are future turbos that I may consider...how ever you don't really get to use their potential unless you have race gas and are boosting 26psi+

264/272 - 50trim or something similar.

Wait a little bit. Some cool things will be coming out in the next few months. 50trims are already yesterdays news.

I was thinking about a T28. But I'm not sure what cams to go with.

well,its not like we have a huge choice in cams,with the t28,i'd say you'd probably be best to go with the web-cams street grinds.


mistaspakles,i'd probably suggest the same to you unless you went bigger than the t28 or 16g.

50trim and 272/272.

Would you be a bit more specific?

Right...

50trim and HKS 264/272 or straight 272s

Are we not tired of playing turbo of the week? The green works, 20g's work and the green definitely works. I agree with the above, full Garrett 50 272/272 cams and be done with it.

Like they said. I personally went with 264/272 for the simple reason that there wasn't much to be gained from the tests that I have seen via dyno analysis unless you revved over 7500. This is where the bigger intake of 272 will really help you out. If definately wouldn't hurt you though going full 272. The only thing I would think that might be slightly different is your spool up time and idle ability. Check out www.automotosports.com for a good article they did on different sets of cams.

A 50 shot on 91 octane would not be something I reccomend. Also 300 hp to the wheels out of a 16g on 91 octane would be pretty though to do.

My sut up will be a FWD with 9.0 je's, eagle rods, ported head, 20g, but i was wondering what cams I should get. I was 264/272 but I have seen alot of people go with straight 272. I dont have to worry about smog so its just power I want. My other problem is that I have a 90 so I cant change my rev limit. Thats the only reason i was going woth the combo as apposed to the straight pair. Any thoughts would be great.

You won't have to limit your car to 7000 rpm. The rev limiter stops the fun at 7500. The 272/272 will make better power from 6000 rpm up.

DSMer,

Soon I'm going to overhauling the engine, and due to money shortage I need to chose between 264/272 cams or GM Translator with the MAF, Intake pipe & Filter. So which one will be better to used
