I believe so. We havent had any real conclusive information on the after dyno I dont think as Redz was having some issues. The company is called Colt Cams. Search that and you should find some contact info.

kspec has turbo cams listed in their turbo section
http://kspec.com/list.php?ac_id=85&ai_id=1420

but i dont kno much about cams, so i culdnt tell u if those are beneficial for a turbo or not, plus they have quite a price tag on em..
i called shark racing once jus to see if they could make em way back when, an they said they can, but thats all i asked, kinda left it out there as an option, but never really followed up w em.

The Colts are regrinds and I think they were a little over 400. Not bad at all. I will most likely end up going that route.

I absolutely love my cams. I'm just at such a high elevation that I need something to tune my A/F ratio to get the benefits from it.

Colt Cams MAKES them, but you buy them from the user here named BHurlin, the owner of KFXPerformance.com

Not to be an ass REDZ, but I have to know:

If you need a tune, and don't benefit from the cams, how can you love them?

Because the way the engine runs with them in. The sound, the lopey idle, the screaming up near redline.

We've figured that if I can get my A/F ratio right, it should be a 16 to 22 WHP gain.

Remember, I'm at around 6000 Feet folks.

True. That idle sound. Do you have a clip of that or something posted here? I'd love to hear it.
