It recently purchased a turbo for my 94 cobra and I'm looking for a camshaft that would be great for my car and works well with the turbo. What would you recommend as the best camshaft to use for turbo on my car? Thanks

I recommend getting a custom ground cam.

depends on what you want to spend The Ford F cam works well with turbos there are a few guys that made over 1000HP with them. But a custom ground cam would be the best. But why do you need a cam the turbo can make enough HP to kill the block as is. thats what is nice about the turbo want more power turn it up.

F cam is a blower cam.

Lunati makes a turbo specific EFI compatible cam.

I was going to say the same thing but hate to be a negative nancy all the time. OP the stock blocks are good to a safe 500HP or under after that it's a roll of the dice on how long it'll last.

They work very well with a turbo also. Like I said more then one guy making big HP numbers with them. Not all turbo engines need a reverse split camshaft.

Right, but the way I see it is why spend his money on something that he really dont "need" when he could spend it on something he does really need.

Im with you. A decent sized turbo is all that's needed for that power level.

I fully agree that any kind of engine mods for his car, is pretty pointless.

A good turbo (read: not an On3 unit) can easily surpass the power limit of the block.

Hell, my On3 70mm already has me at 565hp. And that's only 8psi. But I have alot more engine than a stock 94.
