I'll say 800-900 With 15psi.... I think the 205 Heads will slow the car down.. Might have been better with the 225 heads that flow 340-350cfm..

Good luck steve

You should get pretty stout numbers with the HP kit at 15 lbs of boost. I'm guessing 750-800RWHP.

I am going to guess 45RWHP, with that cam you are going to blow your boost out the exhaust

Why would you pick a blower cam for a turbo setup? A good turbo cam will have a much different profile than a blower cam.

I bought my short block from A & A and Andy recommended that cam. I say Blower cam in a general sense. This is not a good turbo grind? 224 x 228 .585ish lift (about) 115lsa

Why would it be such a diferent profile? Blower or turbo the air is being forced in. Just did a search on turbo cams and it looks like there are alot of variables in picking the right cam. Even some of the guys on here that know alot seem to be unsure about it.

I was told on the turbo you want some back pressure to help spool the turbos on the SC you want the exhaust gases out ASAP so you want the 228/236 type of range.

On turbo cams you almost want the reverse set up.

As Yano, Mdhmi and I have stated. Cams are completely different for blowers and turbos.

probably more hp than your tires can handle.


mightymouse on ls1tech made a little over 900 with a single turbo on a 364 iron block with a 6 speed. in his heavy weight firebird, it went almost 150 mph in the 1/4 on 27 inch hoosiers.


talked to him today and hes got a ls2 in it now and said it will probably make 1000 at the wheels on race gas.


good luck, your in for a wild ride!
