A camshaft as a turbo alternative? No. While it may give some power increase, a camshaft is just one part. having a "turbo" is the turbo itself, intercooler, bov, piping, boost controller, fuel system, blah blah that each give you an amount of power. While having FI will put more stress on the engine, it is still a pretty reliable way to make power, given that it is tuned properly, and the engine is strengthened and taken care of.
