SOHC d16z6 cam:
CompCams stage 1, I think(I bought it so long ago, I can't remember)

Cam Specs.....................PRI...........SEC......VTEC....EXHAUST

Valve Adjustment_____.007-----.007------.007----- .009
Adv. Dur. @ .006 lift____228-----119 ------256 -----252
Duration @ .050_______186------95-------215 ------211
Gross valve lift_______.286----.300 -----.441-----.401
Came lobe lift________.1800--.1890----.2680----.2210

Valve Timing @ .050
BTDC Opening______18- ____67-_____4_______36 BBDC
ABDC Closing ______24_____17-_____30_______5- ATDC

This cam would be installed on a b7/z6, LX VTEC, Mini-me, engine. The motor will be turbo charged within the coming weeks. I am aware that the b7/z6 hybrid has a raised compression, but I think I will be OKAY for now. My initial thought would be to NOT install the cam because it wasn't labeled a "turbo" cam.

Thanks in advanced.

my advice ...BE PATIENT..there was a guy on here that rushed soemthing like this (maybe not the exact senario) and warp a piston or something ** don't know details***
oh and by the way ...if its a turbo cam, its gonna run like s**t cuz u dont supply it the air/pressure
so if anything you would loose power
not sure about what damage it can lead but just wait and do it right

I don't recall saying i was in a hurry? I just wanted input if the cam would be bad for a turbo app.

if its only a stage 1 cam, useable on stock valve springs, it'll probably be ok, and with good tuning, may gain you some hp.
