Guys and girls, I need some input! I am unsure of what to do with my CRX. I have, right now, a ZC Tranny, a Zex cam for a Z6 head, a centerforce 2puck clutch, and a way to pick up a turbo setup (homemade, but complete...) for about $500. On the other hand, I sure would love to put in a b-series, but the allure of doing a turbo Z6 is really getting to me! :naughty: What do you guys think? How much boost and how much horsepower can I realistically expect out of this setup with the Zex cam, without replacing or rebuilding again in a couple of months?? (I don't know any specs on the cam right off hand...) Or should I just go the safe route and get a B16 or B20? I'm really stuck with this!! :confused: :banghead:

installing an N/A cam in a turbo car is a bad idea

Why would it be a bad idea? All it would do is alter the timing and get more air in and more exhaust out, right? If the timing is too far advanced on the cam, I can always retard at the cam gear or at the distributor, right? Tell me if I'm wrong, I really don't want to Screw my project up from the git-go. :grinno:

because high lift/long duration cams will hurt your performance, if you want cam(s) then look into a custom turbo grind cams, i know web cams makes them and i think crower does too.....you will explode your motor with those cam(s) and if you tune it to the point that it runs right with those cam(s) then you will be totally negating the affects the cam(s)
