Turbo 273 ?s

you dont have to have a radical cam in a turbo motor, a short duration intake with a centerline of 112-114 would work good. I wouldnt even change cams, just mount it up and go for it. Those magnums with the turbo top design look just like the motorhome LA manifolds I saw once. Stockish LA passenger side with a T4 flange right out the top, stock driver side snakes under pan and enters the pass side on the bottom and all the gas exits out the turbo where the pass side exhaust path would be, but it would be a 3-4 inch pipe.

That is true to a point. Most guys like to still have the muscle car rumble. A really wide centerline takes the rumble away. In a full out race motor where you want every bit of power out of it yes wide centerline. A street car I believe don't matter all that much, you will never get it to hook.

Funny cause I seen a show on TV that was dyno testing nitrous specific camshafts against regular NA camshafts. They did about 6 cam swaps using an engine dyno..... Guess what? The regular grind NA camshafts made more power every time and they were hitting it with a 200 shot. So moral of the story is just because it is a "specific" part it does not mean it will perform better because it says it will on the box.

By the way my camshaft was custom ground and verified for my specific application first by Bullet Cams and again by Brian at IMM Engines. None of them knew about the other. The duration, lift, ICL etc were so close it was weird.
