- Valvetrain Engineer & Group Manager Billy Godbold talks about turbo cams in this latest tech video. While every turbo engine combination is unique, there are some general rules that apply to a camshaft grind designed to work with a turbo. For cam grind recommendations for your turbocharged engine give us a call at 1-800-999-0853.

All cams are Turbo cams.
Very good video guys, you should expand on this....
Thanks to this in depth video i know everything about cams, such as……………
oh yes it's starting to make sense, good stuff.
Isn't every cam a turbo cam ?
Yes and no.
Turbos increase pressure, density and temperature of the intake air, and hence changing viscosity. Therefore, to accommodate for new flow characteristics, you can optimise the cams
This might sound a bit stupid. But what could happen if you created a sub pump fan in the exhaust creating a vacuum sucking effect. Wouldnt that lower optimize the pressure in the cylinder head?
What's a good choice cam for ls1 sbe single turbo good for 600-650rwhp was thinking btr 2 turbo cam??
Why would comp cams recommend a btr cam?
I have turbo comp cams in my motor I just recently purchased. I was wondering if that would be an Issue since I'm running a paxton novi supercharger? Would I lose power?
Yes supercharger cams are definitely different and you will lose hp with the wrong cam
Let me know what the cam specs are and I might be able to help you
Can i use comp cam 54-454-11 on a turbo build
Is it possible to run the turbo cam n/a for a while without boost?
Yes it is! While it will not be the best NA cam, you will still pick up decent power over stock.
yes otherwise it wouldnt start up without the turbo spinning fast enough to create inlet pressure.
think about it like this. When you car is idling and when its coming up in revs the turbo is not really playing any role on how the engines combustion process happens. the turbo wheels are slightly restrictive to the inlet and exhaust flow but the engine is basically naturally aspirated until exhaust gases are flowing through the turbine wheel fast enough to spin the compressor side of the turbo up to a speed (spools) that it creates positive inlet pressure (boost).
the waste gate opening decreases the exhaust turbine speed slowing the compressor wheel speed and
the bov opening also decreases boost also creating a similar situation to a naturally aspirated engine.
so probably a big technical explanation for a simple YES answer but i hope this helps you understand a turbo engine always runs naturally aspirated some of the time.
@@Compcams1976 to follow up his question will running it n/a have a hp gain over factory or will they be comparable
@@dirtcheapmedia3390 yes, you will still see a good gain over factory!
@@Compcams1976 what about running a NA cam with turbo
Looking for a camshaft for my 1993 Typhoon LB4 4.3 V6, what would you recommend?
I have an aftermarket turbo but not sure if that matters when shopping for cams, Mambatek 9-11 3" Anti Surge Turbo GMC Typhoon Syclone TD06S-GT3076 10cm.
Looking at other upgrades as well.
