Any n/a cam is okay for forced induction. If the stock cams work then a mild n/a cam is fine.

Uh...wait for what? The BBR stage 1 cam is already out???:wtf:


it's out....


out of stock that is...


Ever since our last magazine article with the 2010 which included the huge gains with our stage 1 cams, they sold out. We sold out of 40 sets within a month. They took off a lot faster than we had anticipated. So, they are temporarily on back order. We are waiting on billet cores so they can be cut.

However, yes, they do work well with forced induction. But our Stage 2 cams where designed with a Turbo in mind from the get go.

The higher than LSA, the better the cam is going to work with forced induction. It determines how peaky or flat your torque curve is going to be. I believe the stock cams have an LSA of 115.5, stg 1 NSR is 114 and stg 2 is 117.

higher LSA = wider curve
lower LSA = narrower curve

Think of duration as a seesaw, it teedles and toddles your torque one direction or the other, depending on how high the duration is or how low it is.

I saw that springs were recommended, anybody had any problems with that much lift on stock springs w/Stg 1?
