(chuckle chuckle) Even though I tend to specialize in the non turbo 420a doesn't mean that I know nothing about turbo. But you're asking questions about a cam that won't work for your car; turbo or not. In all honesty, there are very few on here who could make that cam work with their vehicles (no to sound too self important, but my car with the 16 to 1 and Dougie's car comes to mind. No others that I can think of. MIGHT be interesting to try with the 12.5 to 1 but I suspect that with the overlap, it would not be worth it).But your a non turbo guy arent you? So how can you comment on turbos?
Im pretty sure that pushing my automatic down a hill wount help it start
, this seriousely is funny.. At first i wanted to explain what people meant by "compression loss" but seeing the OP doens't know the difference between "compression" and "compression ratio", nor the names of what actual engine parts you upgrade or can for that matter even buy that are "forged" when manufactured; I think i'll save the calouses on my finger tips from being used in vein. You buy forged engine blocks the same place you get NAWZ, i thought you knew
I think the OP needs to do a ton of reading on engine basics in general before spouting off the cool names of parts he's heard of in movies or on forums, let alone before giving advice on what some one else should do
If you dont' understant why you got negative reputation for telling some one they need a "forged engine block" then you really have a LOT of learnign to do before thinking about upgrading cams in general,let alone arguing with people that are giving you good advice as to why you shouldn't listen to them and why you're not going to do the things that are "must do" modifications or changes in order to even run cams like that.. and the "Pushing the car downhill to even start" isn't talking about starting the engine, its that you will have such little power that the thing won't take off on it's own power, it has nothing to do with pop starting an engine... until you can understand the difference in compression and compression ratio, and "starting an engine" and "starting off the line", seriousely put the mods on the back burner, get some books and quit listening to people at school for your "learning experience" about engines.. And the Fast and Furious movies were not documentaries, they were entertainment items with very little of their terminology based around
this was only fitting

I have held back from saying anything because honestly I think that you want to learn but are mixed up on a few things, however, we have already talked about this on the other thread. They don't make a forged block, they make forged pistons, rods and crankshafts which are inside the block. Think of the block as a case that all your parts are in, you are saying you need a stronger case not whats inside of the case. Now they don't make a forged block aka case they make forged internals. You should have told that guy that he needed forged pistons and rods (forged crankshaft not needed). The problem with cars is that the small details are important since they are very complicated machines so you have to be 100% right in what you tell someone not 70%. The rep system is there to discourage people from being unclear or guessing at an answer when they arn't 100% right.

Now on to your cams questions...
Can you run them? Probably
Will they increase power on a stock engine? No, a lot more mods are needed before your motor can benefit from the cams. Imagine if you had a 300lb hammer. Would be an awesome hammer right but since you cant lift or swing it that makes it useless.
This is the question you should ask us...
What should I do right now to get more power? Well you can take steps to build up to these cams (if thats what you want) and gain more and more power as you go. Start with an ecu like the afx or a manual swap. Don't start at the end and work to the beg man crawl before you walk.
Also most of the guys here are pretty nice but you have to listen to them and if you don't understand what they are saying its alright to ask but don't argue.
BTW I don't care if this is a troll or not other people will read and learn hopefully
