    See page 1. You're right, I did insult you, except mine were much more clever and yours were just so so.

    Most NA cams are different from turbo cams in duration and lift and I don't particularly care about doing research on exact specs, but assuming the cams worked OK for turbo, wouldn't you be better off buying cams designed for forced injection that will probably in all likelihood work better?

    And it makes no sense to me to buy an ECU probably tuned exceptionally well for an NA set up and then use an AFC (a more band aid set up) to make it work with turbo? Spending extra $ and effort?

    In summary, you want to
    1. Buy high comp. pistons and then buy a thicker headgasket to lower compression
    2. Buy NA cams that "aren't much different from other things" (what exactly does that mean...? beats me)
    3. Buy an NA ECU most likely with advanced timing and a relatively lean map and then use an AFC (a rather crude method compared to tuning ECUs) to richen it up for turbo

    When you're driving, do you make three lefts to go right?

    Please tell me if you think my car looks good. But don't tell me if you think it's ugly - only on IA
