    Different type of Cam swap question

    As a few guys on here know I got a cam put in a few months ago that was made more for the boost that is in my future. As time goes on I am seriously thinking of waiting till closer to Tax time to pay for a good Turbo kit then.... SOO this leads to the question.
    I still have my Old Man cam sitting around the house. With that cam, stock intake and no spray I ran 13.8 a few times.
    With my current cam I have run 14.0 with a tbss intake and 90mm TB added to it.... Only getting 13.6 on spray.
    Been thinking maybe I should switch back to the old man cam... *which should be good and safe for n2o.* Upgrade my kit to a wet kit and hopefully be good for a 13.7 on motor with the upgraded intake and then MAYBE get 12s with the n2o.....
    When I get my turbo kit Ill just swap the cams around again....
    ANYONE got some feedback for me?

    Sweet. Not much difference. There are old men that needs cams so might I suggest selling yours to one and keeping the cam you have...?

    if I could afford the turbo off the bat I would. But I am looking at 6 months till I can do that. This cam is holding me back at my current stage.... If something comes up and I go with a more motor cam like a 224/224 till then Ill holler at you. I think another member called it on here first though. If he backs out Ill pm you

    Ian, IMO, I'd sell the OMC and put the money towards a decent N/A cam for the time being.

    The old man cam is a decent motor cam. MORE over its a pretty good n2o cam as well. That is what Im looking at.
