What do you think would work best off the shelf to make 600-800 hp

 

I would choose one with wider lobe separation angle. Your examples were between 110-112 degrees. I'd propably look for alternatives with 114 too, they are usually fuelie cams. For street turbo applications I would not choose anything radical with long overlap. I'd also replace the valve springs to be slightly stiffer than recommended if the original intent is for N/A.

 

I would like to make 600-800 hp It will be twin turbo set up with two S472 turbos , EFI , 80mm T/B , is there a off the shelf hyd. cam that you know of that will work for me.

I can't recommend you to any specific cam I'm sorry. Your hp target is quite low for a twin turbo setup and your turbos are not too small for the combo so if I were you I'd probably look for a stock spec cam or just slightly bigger than that and keep the LSA in wide config. Then again if you plan to upgrade soon then I would put in more. Do a search on the cam values on OEM turbocharged cars to give you the rough idea, for instance Buick GN or equivalent. Not a bad idea to look for Euro/Japanese categories either as the wider spread of info you get for yourself in that area will help you more in the future if you do all your wrenching yourself like I do.

 

why are you trying to find a off the shelf cam? If its to save money its a bad idea to skimp on a proper cam. There are quite a few guys who can design you a cam for what you want/need for a little more than a off the shelf. for example.. Comp cams custom ground my solid roller cam for 340$ which is about right on par with other roller cams. Do it right and youll have better results. Id recommend calling Scott brown and see what he can do for you.

 

this is scott brown website. if you go to technical there is a cam recommendation form. Fill it out and he will get right back to you within a day or 2.
