Putting this in a tgp motor with very slight mods and a bit more boost.
Just curious who has used it and what you think of it.
Just a daily driver,I would rather have a 112lsa but the budget on the build doesn't allow a custom grind and purchasing the other piece's seperate.
Got the whole kit for 286$ shipped so budget rules.

Don't plan on bigger rockers,just mildly ported heads and intake.

Any real world experience with this cam N/A or turbo would be appreciated,especially any specific charecteristics this grind has that I can plan for.

I know I will need tune etc..

tipically a Turbo cam is pretty Mellow. I don't know how it would react but usually a larger N/A cam would not be very good with a turbo.. to much overlap and your boost is just dumping out of the engine before its combusted.... resulting in less O2 during the compression stroke, less power.. atleaset thats how its allways been explained to me. you may want to see if there was another OEM cam from another year or if the stock NA cam is different then the TGP cam... that may be a better option, and you want to talk about cheap, prob could find one for free..

that cam actually has less overlap than the stock cam...

or at least it looks like it. stock is 48* IIRC. that one is 40*.

Stock tgp cam is exact same as any other 90 3.1 gp.
This cam is on a 110lsa whereas the stocker is a 112.

[Superdave]

yes, that is a popular cam for both N/A and turbo.

[RedZMonte]

all-righty then! that makes it easy

Anybody know where a dyno sheet is from an engine with this cam?
I'd like to look to see how the power graphs.
