Default Question on turbo cam and idle

Turbo cams should pose no threat on the idle right? Because of the short overlap it should idle like a stock engine? I did a search but couldn't find anything so excuse if this has already been covered.

it still depends on how aggressive the cam is.

the longer the duration
the more overlap ur gonna have
a stage 3 will still have a lil bit of a rough idle

but i have put stage 5 503 lift crowers in a n/a gsr and it still idles, but it just barely cuts as a daily driver.

just choose the right heat range for ur plugs and gap them accordingly

for turbo i would use ngk-r 9

Well I mean witha turbo cam spec. I know high rpm NA cams have tons of overlap, but turbo cams don't. So it shouldnt be a idle problem, but what about the high lift?

well turbo cams r still closely related to n/a cams the duration is long to bring in more air but slightly shorter on the ex to get higher ex pressures to help with turbo spool

u r still going to have some idle issues but it will still be daily drivable.

stage 3 will be perfect and has a moderate amount of overlap at idle
