I have a built low end and i plan on running around 25psi(I have all supporting mods) Ive got a full race ported head with PEP valves ive already bought 4g springs and pt cruiser style lifters. My question is will the 420a cams hold me back, the duration isnt that bad on them, I have AEM cam gears so i was thinking about advancing my timing a little to compensate. Im still getting used to the whole turbo conversion so any help would be awesome.

Duration=Int/Exh 222/220
Duration @.50"=172/168
Lobe lift=.185/.157
Gross lift=.324/.275

compared to Crower turbo grind
238/236
187/184
.234/.230
.409/.403
 
If you have ported the head, you won't really be able to take advantage of that without larger camshafts. Expect spool time to increase with larger cams.
 
I know this is a good while down the road. But do you have any opinions on what cams I should put in my 420a? I'm looking to get as much power out of my engine as I can. While going past I/H/E and playing with the internal. But something that can handle a turbo whenever i get to it.
