Default Turbo Cams?

can anyone help me decide what cam to go with my twin turbo 4.6, i know its not the same for everyone but for me i will be making close to 500 horsepower. my shift goal is 6k i dont need to rev high. my problem is choosing a cam that will be ok with running a tt setup on low boost. can u run a supercharged cam with a turbo engine? if so why not this one. ive also been looking at custom cams and comp cams for a turbo application but i dont know what to choose.

See if they'll grind you a cam for the same price you can buy a preground one. I don't know what the specs are going to be on that one, but I think it's probably a pretty safe guess it's around .550 lift 23x/23x 114+ LSA.

I have a very popular 2V turbo grind. You don't need anything very agressive with a turbo. Mine will give you great power gains (have produced over 800hp) but will support the lower rpm power ranges and not scarifice low RPM power.

Don't run a s/c cam in a turbo set up. Most the time the supercharger cams have too much overlap for a turbo set up.

Only if you have a windsor motor with pressed-on gears.

Absolutely, and make sure you purchase either the Comp Hi-Load or Nextek valve springs, so you have sufficient spring load. The cheap Comp springs won't cut it with a turbo.
