Well I have asked about this before and I have found a cam that based on this forum and other reading I believe is a good choice. Putting a B&M 174 on the following.Old DLI-Kit. Estimate 6--8lbs. of boost. The car is a 3,600lb. B-body auto,2,500-conv. {may go 4spd. later}3.55 rear headers full exhaust. Mostly fun street,some track time,,,,Nats,CC events,etc.... 383 +.030 ,452 iron heads 2.14/1.81,may go Aluminum Stage-6. Compression will be 8.5--8.8. 950HP Holley,electric pump etc.... Cam is a Crane HYD.#683801 222/234@.050-278/290adv. .467/.494-lift,,,114-C/L. 1,800--5,600 power band. What do you think?

For that level of boost, that cam is fine, especially if you have it already. However, with that heavy of a car, small of cubes, low gearing, small cam, you need to run more compression like 9.5:1 or your car will be very lazy until some boost. Also, that carb is waaaaay to big for your turbo or NA application.

I would keep what you have at that boost level. I assume you have a stock crank, rods etc. The smaller cam will keep your power range in alot lower rpms and your rotating assembly will thank you for it.
One day I will have something cool here.

OK,still learning,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, But don`t have a TURBO, will have a small blower. Carb wise,how can it be "too big" as long as the signal/fuel curve is right? That CRANE Cam. is smaller than what is in it now and runs OK,not a tire shredder but a high 13 car. As far as compression the charts on the KB-piston site for supercharging says 8-lbs. should run 8-to-1 comp.?
Please explain your advise a little further. I want to understand WHY,not just do this and don`t do that.

that will be a fun car! will you use a power valve in the carb? will you change the opening point of the sec's to open sooner? i hope your car will run high 11's but i am not sure.

Might want to boost reference the power valve.
