I am not really clear on what your asking.... but yes type-S cams will work great with turbo as well as stock usdm cams

 

A cam with too much overlap eg a NA cam would be bad for turbo.. but the Type-s arent that aggressive so it would work but i think most prefer the stock usdm cam.

Thats actually false. Some guys who really rev there cars out love all motor cams dialed in right they can pick up over 60 whp peak HP. I have seen it done.

The reason I say stock usdm cams are good is because they have great power threw the entire powerband. Type-S is slightly more aggressive and will give you great results also.

 

from, what i was told having a exhaust type s cam would be bad for turbo i forgot the exact reason

 

The thinking behind using the type S cams for turbo is same as B series thinking for turbo...it works and is proven that type S cams do work for mild to medium turbo build...

GSR cams...ITR cams...CTR cams...

USDM H22A cams...JDM H22A cams...JDM H22A Type S cams...

 

Ditch the idea for type s cams , tons of h22 guys are making 600whp on stock h22 cams. I would spend your money else where.

This is also correct My lude makes 612whp/425tq on stock cams, but.... if he does get the type-s cams they wont hurt the car is the point I was making

You said it, all motor cams dialed in right will work very well with forced induction, but your not using your engine to it's full potential. Using a cam actually designed for FI will be even better.

High lift long duration cams will make power in any engine, a NA engine will be tuned (cam timing) to achieve a certain degree of overlap. The same cams can be used on a FI engine, but the overlap will be needed to be tuned out to a point. Tuning the overlap out would involve retarding the exhaust cam usually. Although you've gained power over stock cams(due to higher lift/increased duration), your still leaving some power on the table.

The best way is to get a set of cams designed for FI. High lift w/ quick ramp rates and a decent amount of duration and miniumal overlap at 0 degrees advance/retard.

In a nut shell:

Type S cams vs base for FI - Doesn't matter, their almost the same cam anyway.

I'm dead set on buying cams for my FI setup, which ones should I get? - If you're going to spend your money on cams, get a set that is designed for FI.

I already have huge bad *** all motor cams and now I've installed a turbocharger, do I have to change my cams? - No, you don't have to, but some cam gears and tuning will get you gains, but not to the extent of true FI cams.
