cam for a turbo motor?

[dropem]

ok so i got my motor running and im just not real happy with the cam it is a bullet cam 226/224 586/578 115 and it just doesnt seem to be right i was wondering yall guys opinion on a good cam its a fully built lq9 with 8.8:1 compression with 2.05 intake and 1.8 exhast valves. With manley duel springs and comp pro magnum rockers 1.75 ratio the turbo is a 76 mm. im just wanting something a little bigger because it just seems small.

the lift on that cam with 1.75 rockers is .603/.595. I would say that it is not a small cam.

Have you measured how much boost you're making?

Can you give us the timing events of the cam?

Bullet cam? Is that the former UltraDyne company?

Stock cams with their high LSA usually make very nice turbo cams.
I would look into an '02 Z06 cam

If you really want to maximize cam potential you need a custom cam, period.
Check out LSM Engineering. Expensive, but worth it. IMO.

im at 6 psi right now but will slowly be steping it up to about 20

what do you mean by timing event

and not sure but i dont think they were ultradyne

what do you mean by timing event

The opening/closing events of the intake/exhaust valves. You should have received a card with the cam that shows these events for degreeing the cam during installation.

and not sure but i dont think they were ultradyne

OK, I didn't state the question very well. What I was trying to ask is, didn't Bullet and UltraDyne merge not too long ago?

While I'm asking questions, is your turbo a Turbonetic T76?

I just got an 02 z06 cam and springs. I can't wait to see how she does!

yeah it is. ill have to find out the timing events of the came but to me it just doesnt seem like it has enough duration in it but thats just me

It's an N/A cam, with bigger intake duration vs. exhaust.
Turbo cams are the opposite or a single pattern with like a 117 LSA

Get a custom cam or run a stock with high ratio rocker arms.

226 is a bit short duration for a 6.0L too. The longer stroke needs more
valve open time to fill bigger cubes.

My 5.8L TT mustang with custom LSM turbo cam runs like 240+ duration
but thumps pretty good too.
