Re: Cam
I can't recommend a cam because the turbo is too small. If you use two it would make for an unstoppable powerhouse. The only way one of those turbos would work is if you used the tiny cam and tiny heads and the biggest turbine housing you could find. Even then it may still be a restriction and make less power than a good naturally aspirated 377.
