Which cam for turbo?

which cam would be better fr a low boost (5-7 psi) single turbo setup? I'm gonna get a goodwrench motor, add tpi, and someday turbo.

This one:

Hydralic Flat tappet

Intake Lift-.450" Exhaust Lift-.460"

Intake Duration @ .050"- 222 Exhaust Duration @.050"- 222

Lobe Seperation-114


Or this one:

Hydralic Flat tappet

Intake Lift-.383" Exhaust Lift-.401"

Intake Duration @ .050"- 194 Exhaust Duration @.050"- 202

Lobe Seperation-112


OR maybe the second w/ 1.6 rockers.

which would be best?

Who’s cams are those? Some of this depends on what the actual shape of the lobes are, but mostly I’m curious.

Your decision is mostly up to what you want your power band to be like, but my instinct is that in a car you’d be happier with the first one.

they are both the goodwrench cams. #1 is the 290 horse 350. #2 is the 260 horse 350.
