Re: 240 cams?

Compare the overlap and duration specs of the two engines. Turbo engines can reduce overlap to save fuel and closing the exhaust valves sooner so compression begins earlier is an advantage also. Turbo cams on a NA engine would be a step backward if you are looking to improve performance. Have you researched valve adjustment and what it costs on either engine?
