how would you go around picking a cam for twins? do you go what your large turbo runs at or your small or something right in the middle or just leave it stock? not going to be building my motor any time soon just wondering is all
picking a cam with twins
- Thread starter ChevyDieselLLY
- Start date
If youre not planning on building it soon why dont you wait to see what goes on with the other guys who have similar twin setups and built motors to see what works well for them. Turk Walker has a built motor and big twins but im unsure of his cam. Hed be a good guy to ask along with Nathan obviously. Also its not like one cam is going to be best for your twins. You have to pick one thats going to work well with your target rpm as well as the rest of your build.

Stocker for me , just run MO boost 
, JK A cam is worth doing if you have the money , I dont think twins will change the type of cam selected , if anything they might allow to run a bigger cam and still be able to be streetable and tow , but i am def not a cam expert or engine .

thanks, you are runnung faster then i want to so if a stock cam is good for you im sure it will work for me
just trying to get an idea, maybe someone else had the same question.
kind of what i was thinking that you could run a larger cam for better top end but it wouldnt hurt your low end due to the small turboStocker for me , just run MO boost
I have SoCal's top end cam that I ordered back when I thought I was going to be testing a big VVT and would be able to cheat the bottom end. I decided to stick with it rather than send it back for the bottom end cam that Ed has. I can still tow fine with a big single. I would even talk to Guy about giving you a little more up top if he can.
Has anybody ever ran one of the Comp cams? They are a good 30% cheaper than a Socal custom ground one. I was kind of thinking of a cam for my motor build. I plan on running twins with atleast an 80mm over my 68mm cheetah. I am trying to layout a partslist that fits my budget which is smaller. I am not trying to nock Guy for the price of his cams. I'm sure they are better. I am just looking for the most bang for the buck.
You will still have to key the Comp Cams camshaft. Then the two cams want cost that much different. Buying several parts at one time might help in getting you a better price also. I got better pricing when I built mine buy sending more at one place.
