    Installed the 276 and the car is a rocket from 4500 and up but not so happy under.
    I spoke to VAC and they offered me their turbo cams 270/246, they said bigger intake cams and smaller exhaust to help spool, these appear a combination of the 276 and stock cams... hmmmm not sure at the moment.

    You could experiment with degreeing -- altering specs to improve spool. Chikinhed may have ideas. I skipped the 276/270 since I rev only to 7200 max and like response. If I was a racer who lined rowing the gears and had a 7600 red line, I might have tried the 276/270. I think they would gain almost twice as much power as the 264/256 -- maybe around 40 rwhp instead of 2latoind 20 rwhp at 25 psi from a big turbo. But I can just raise the boost ibstead.

    VAC said the turbo cams should yield 60rwhp, also said if I retard the exhaust cam by 1.5 degrees it should help spool and HP, seems like a big intake cam and small exhaust cam is the ticket for a turbo set up.

    Generally you multiply NA gains by the increase in atmospheric pressure.

    All posts use words relative to the topic
    and proper use of prepositions.

    Find me a post that confuses you.

    Wow! Didn't George from ICS (years ago) always say that he had great results out of both schrick options...?


    Who else had turbo cams... Bav Sol and edge Motorsports or something like that. But, they were wild (290/270 or something like that).

    The car pulls harder as I swap cams with more aggressive ones, I'm sure 276 will yield the highest rwph, I'm not after the highest number but the most power under the curve, the 276 are violent above 4500rpm!

    Back then Schrick did not sell the 276/270. But George probably tried other cams that were more aggressive than the Schrick 264/256

    Good point, I know there were 2 options. I wonder what they were. IIRC, evolve was the company that sold the big turbo cams.

    276/270 are a beast above 4500rpm!
    I'm getting VAC turbo cams next week, will be able to test all cams available.
    I'm out of town but found this pic from last week, it's been a while since I felt the need to drive the M, I guess 24 PSI gets addicted!

    I manually timed the 256/264, I used the blocks for the 276/270 and will be manually timing the turbo cams as they don't have the ability to use the blocks.
    I'm deciding if I should get the aggressive grind or mild gind from VAC.
