I have a FPgreen and full exhaust, stock valve train. What cam would best suit my turbo?

How much would my power down low be hurt? I would like to have boost before 4K...You want comp 101200's/fp2's, hks 272's, etc. Something around 212*@.050".
You're also going to need a restall, or new converter.
My car will currently brake stall to ~3K if I remember correctly. Racing from a dig aside, would a kelford 272 be a hinderance to my setup? Maybe a 264/260 would be more appropriate for an auto?You don't need super fast spool, you need a looser converter.
It's not just being able to sit still on the brakes and build boost. A well matched setup will flash the converter to an rpm where the turbo starts working while driving when you go wot.My car will currently brake stall to ~3K if I remember correctly.

I plan on staying with a 2.0 and definitely a higher stall torque converter. But the build is happening very incrementally. So probably run bigger cams on stock valve train and then throw in Kiggly HP springs, Ti retainers and steel seats, Manley valves and eventually go on to the bottom end when I have the 2K to throw at it.It's not just being able to sit still on the brakes and build boost.

In my experience the kelford 272's don't work well with most non nitrous auto setups, unless it's a 2.3/2.4.
I decided to go with the comp cams and some AEM adjustable cam gears. Would the Kiggly Steel Street springs suffice or do I need the High Pressure with Ti retainers?You want comp 101200's/fp2's, hks 272's, etc. Something around 212*@.050".

I rev to 9250 with fp2's and bc springs with stock retainers. I do replace the springs fairly often though.I decided to go with the comp cams and some AEM adjustable cam gears. Would the Kiggly Steel Street springs suffice or do I need the High Pressure with Ti retainers?
