Be very careful, If you buy cams ground for nautrally aspirated use your
car
wont run at all right on forced induction, turbos and superchargers do not
work at all well with cams that have any serious ammount of overlap <caused
by both cams having long durations> you dont want an overlap of more than
like 5-10 degrees at the most, otherwise you end up with both sets of
valves
open too long and lose alot of your extra pressure from the forced
induction
out the open exhaust valves, basically you want the longest duration
possible
without much overlap and high lift for your cams
