or comp xe270AH. You'll need a tune and new valve springs for either. I'd step down to a XE262AH or VT stage1... you really don't want to be on the edge of being too much, since that's tantamount to achieving "too much". too much cam will lose you bottom end power and your car may feel slower until it spools up some RPM.

The XE270AH have experienced PTV problems. some have, some haven't. Even comp cams told me not to buy those. 262's would be nice.

yes. You'll want less overlap and a different split in durations than NA which usually boils down to a blower specific cam. Contact VT or Comp Cams. They'll need to spec one for your combo.

Thanx for all the help guys, when this thing is done I'll be extreemly happy. Can't wait to get the tune and RWHP reading, and my first time slip.

VT Stage 2's are very streetable, but I'd definately go with the blower cams for sure! the VT N/A cams will just throw away boost
