Default Stock camshaft or aftermarket???

I just dropped a greddy turbo with the medium sized intercooler to in my D16Z6. I love the power I get but I heard I'm not gettin the full power out of the turbo cuz of my aftermarket mild web cam. I was told to put my stock camshaft back in cuz I'll get more power. Is this true or do I just have to tune my engine different?

I would say go for stock. When it comes to cams I prefer to keep it stock. I guess it goes with my KISS thinking. If you dont know what that means, look at my sig.

I agree with vapor.. dyno isnt that expensive.. hit the dyno and then switch the cams and hit the dyno again... stock cams are the general rule, but you already have the web cam, and you never know!

go with the stock cam, chances are your cam has too much duration. you don't need the duration when you are force inducted.
